I was researching rust removal through electrolysis... you know, where you use your battery charger, some washing soda & rebar for electrodes, and you remove the rust electrically... I first started researching it for tool reconditioning, say, for a Stanley woodworking plane. I came upon a page where someone had used the technique to de-rust the inside of their motorcycle gas tank. It involved mounting the rebar electrode rigidly in plexi, to make sure it didn't touch the metal of the tank.
I can't find that particular page, but here are some other pages... <http://www.motorcycleanchor.com/motorcycle/how_to/mc_tankrust.html> (section "E") <http://twinoak.altelco.net/~jacil/clay/motorcycle/KElecSetup.html> Has anyone done something like this on their VW tank? Is "Kreem" the stuff to stay away from? One of those pages above say to stay away from it... - john >>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Mar 15, 2007 3:55 PM >>To: Vintage VW <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>Subject: [vintagvw] cleaning and/or sealing a gas tank? >> >>Hello all, >> >>Does anyone have any experiences (good or bad) >>with cleaning and/or sealing a gas tank?
