auxilary Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I think the best thing would be to take it to a radiator shop and have it boiled out and recoated internally. Probably cost under 100 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK-Z Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 there is a tricky way you can do it yourself. Whether you want to do it is up to you. I did this with my gas tank to my bike. Empty the tank (obvious) fill it with water (yes water) add "washing soda" (a form of baking soda for washing) A table spoon to a gallon of water. negative to the tank positive to the a iron/stainless electrode suspended in the solution. Using a car battery or car battery charger. CAUTION: this is a form of electrolsis that separates the oxygen and hydrogen from the water. And also moves the iron from the negative plate to the positive (move the rust to the eletrode). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
