I use vingar on any feros metal corosion , metal apears to me to come back to original from my experiance (as a mad scientist ) , and the wee stuff does cure tinnier on your toes old Aussie army treatment to piss on your feet if you have tinnier, Not that I would do that !!!!, but you do have to walk anti clockwise while weeing !!!. I've never heard the vinegar idea Al. I'll try it on something that's not going to be under any stress. Wish I'd known. I've used molasses, works well but nerve wracking (coz you definitely don't want any traces left in the tank) and a bit of bugger for inside fuel tanks because it doesn't dissolve the rust. It seems to "lift" it off the surface so that to remove it, you need to wipe it down after treatment. Bit hard inside a tank. I've used Metal Rescue. It's very good but expensive. And despite its claim to only eat rust, not metal, a friend did damage to one of his tanks leaving it in too long. Heard the other remedy from a navy bloke back in the '70's. Apparently works. Never tried it myself, just couldn't do two things at the same time. |

Up above the Equator, we have to walk uncle clockwise.. Wayne back to reality !!!!, I bought a fuel tank on flee bay that was said to be good !(H2)lots of money , when I got it it was badly rusted inside , I filled it up with the cheapest Vingar (no name ) , left for a couple of weeks , NO MORE RUST !!!!! very dirty vingar , put oil in , just engine oil and sloshed it around for a few weeks every day , that was 8yrs ago and it is still perfect inside ,I use vingar on any feros metal corosion , metal apears to me to come back to original from my experiance (as a mad scientist ) , and the wee stuff does cure tinnier on your toes old Aussie army treatment to piss on your feet if you have tinnier, Not that I would do that !!!!, but you do have to walk anti clockwise while weeing !!!. |

Thanks Al. I've done the molasses thing. Hard work to ensure it's all out before using the tank. I've bought the commercial stuff (good but expensive) so I really like the vinegar idea. Will give it a try next job.
