[QUOTE="Hotrod1830, post: 78972, member: 4331"] Has anybody ever tried the electrolysis(sp) mothod? Ive done it to small parts, but never in reverse. Normaly you take a poly container/barrel and place your rusty parts in it. Fill it with water and some pure laundry soda ( bout a cup for 5 gallons of water is what I use) You then place a clean piece of steel in with it without it touching the rusty part. Hook up a battery charger to the parts. I think it is positive lead on the rusting part, negative lead on the clean metal. Turn the battery charger on low charge( 6 amps) and leave it over night. The next morning most of the rust from your part is now attatched to the once clean piece of metal. Your originaly rusty part is now covered in a black oxide coating. Kinda neat and it really works. It should work in reverse, with the fuel tank as positive and the clean metal rod in the tank and negative. Just remember the metals cant touch or it wont work. Also you will need to do it outside and avoid smoking near it as it is said to produce hydrogen gas. Once you are done just make sure all the water is out and the bottom is clean. Try it on a small part first if you want to see it work. remeber, Pure laundry soda, NOT baking soda. [/QUOTE]
