Continuing on the Honda CB750 chopper project I am removing the fuel tank rust using a chain and vinegar with amazing results! This tank was really bad with lots of old varnished fuel in the tank that turned into a flaky crud that was clinging to the bare metal sections within the tank. I started out using some chain to break up the larger chunks and get us 75% of the way there. I eventually had to use drywall screws to get the last stubborn areas of the varnish off but that worked great.

As an older rider I have to find a less athletic method . The shaking chain method works great for those with the power of youth. What works for me is to jack up the rear of any car, truck, tractor or other vehicle and bungee the tank to the wheel, start the engine, and while in bottom gear just let the tank roll over and over for a half hour at a time until the chain or whatever medium I’m using has done its job the let it roll with the vinegar in it until it has done its job. Even leaving the chain in along with the vinegar will work too. The last tank I did had pin holes along the bottom along the pinch weld. Removed the paint in that area, used a blunt punch to create divots into the pinholes, the filled the divots with JB WELD ORIGINAL, it seals perfectly! Never have had issues with the jb weld ORIGINAL method. THE CLEAR 2 part epoxy not so much. I Don’t recommend it. All the best 🤠.

I had to restore a tank from a vintage Vespa we shipped from Italy. I dumped in about two pounds of screws, nuts and bolts. Then I wrapped the tank in several moving blankets and put in the the clothes dryer with no heat. After a couple of hours it was polished clean.

@warmblood58 6 месяцев назад

many years ago I used some old brass keys for a BMW motorcycle tank and shook vigorously with vinegar - suddenly a key tip poked through the bottom of my tank! From that day forward, I only use vinegar and fairly light rounded chain, no sharp anything, - I often rinse and use Ospho to prevent flashing and then add two stroke mix as you did. I have never failed yet to bring back a tank from near rusty death -nice vid!

Bought a ‘99 Ducati 900SS long ago. Previous owner poured tank liner in tank without removing *anything*, including the mesh prefilter and the fuel pump. The bike ran great until it warmed up. The guy he sold to took it to local Ducati dealership who said it needed an ECU! He sold bike to me without telling me any of this. Learned about bike after providing Duc shop the VIN. Sued him even after I signed “As-Is” statement. Why? Because he did not disclose condition. Long story longer … guy didn’t show up to court, I testified, default judgement to me and then, “It is clear to me that the seller did not represent the item accurately. Therefore, I am doubling judgment in plaintiff’s favor.” All this headache because someone installed tank liner solution incorrectly. So who is to blame?!? Italians, of course! 😂😂😂

@BrickHouseBuilds a process I use for restorations.. soak with a strong caustic solution seems to soft the oxide bond but main focus to remove water resisting oils.. the acid I use is Oxalic.. it's used by dry cleaners & wood workers to remove metallic stains in clothes & wood g available from paint & woodwork suppliers & commercial cleaning suppliers.. it doesn't seem to harm them.. at all.. & I've not had any adverse effects handling the solution with bare hands other than it stings cuts.. Oxalic acid doesn't attack the inlaying bare steel either.. at least for a few days soaking dependent on strength I would think.. I've found an enhancing visual effect by scrubbing items with a stainless steel wire brush or stainless pot mit/scouring pad.. in the solution.. there seems to be a molecular exchange that deposits I think chromium to the base steel.. it brightens it quite noticeably with a minute or so right in front of your eyes.. AFTER.. the rust/oxide has been dissolved.. the solution goes green & remains effective for further jobs for several uses & a yellow partical sediment settles in the solution.. I drain off the usable green solution for further use & discard the yellow sediment.. until it starts turning brown at which point its lost all effect.. I sometimes finish with a phosphoric acid stainless wire brush scrub.. seems a little less susceptible to rerusting tools etc.. lookup phosphatising steel (gunsmithing).. cheers 🇳🇿🇳🇿 NZ 👌👍

The 1979 CB750 I restored had a gas tank full of rust. I used chains and solvent to clean out the heavy rust and flakes. Then I used Ospho to neutralize all the rust. Lastly cleaned it out with some gasoline to flush. It came out good. Ospho is amazing stuff. It turns iron oxide into iron phosphate which is inert. The rust was gone and never came back.

Yes...baking soda is a critical step lol. Bike project i picked up last year the owner knew the tank was a little rusty so he threw vinegar in it while working on the bike and then it sat for a year. Needless to say worst rust ever. Took weeks of on and off cleaning it out. Even did your electrolysis method. I still need to seal it up for a few pinholes that popped up. I got the POR15 kit but you and a few friends of mine have recommended the Caswell, so rethinking it. I will say the POR15 degreaser did VERY well on taking out the dirt and old varnish. From what I read its about the same as a heavy duty marine cleaner. Might be worth trying next time. Excellent video as always!

My zg1000 tank is 7.5 gallons so I ended up hanging the rear end from its bolt-on bracket -- imagine a trophy fish hanging from the tail. Then I hoisted it up my carport rafter with a ratchet strap to about belt height. I had already partially filled the tank with my choice of cleaners, such as vinegar, citric acid, oxalic acid, phosphoric acid, bolts, water rinses, etc. Then I picked up the other half of the tank and methodically pushed and rocked the tank to scour the inside of the tank with all the abrasives I could cram inside, like nuts, bolts, screws, and the acid tongue of my mother-in-law. It was much easier to hold up the tank and be 100% thorough this way. Hope that helps anyone. P.S. 90% Alcohol (pick your flavor) works well as a final rinse, followed by a hair dryer to elminate flash rusting.

@pauloconnor7951 2 месяца назад

Simple wire brush wheel on a drill will clean up the filler neck 100%. Small wire wheel on Dremel flex shaft (porting flex shaft) will finish those leftover spots of rust. Run a spoon of two stroke oil in the fuel tank will keep it generally rust free while using it. But it will need lining.

I start with soap and water and blast and flush the tank. Then vinegar soak filled to the brim. Then a couple different wire wheel on an extention. Finally evaporust with large washers and shake for a day. Drain and rinse again. Then alcohol and a blow dryer to eliminate water. End result is like new. Takes 1.5 days to 2 days. Electrolysis also works, but if you are not negligent you can save the paint with the first method.

II wonder what Bruce is up to now. He was painting tanks back in 1980. Hopefully he's still around and living his best life. I'm scared of vinegar because the one time I tried it the tank looked great... until after I did the rinse, then this thick rusty corrosion showed up. I did the whole baking soda step, but maybe I didn't use enough. You didn't seem to get much flash rusting. Evaporust works well, you just have to let it sit over night. And it's not as corrosive.

@wizrom3046 4 месяца назад

Chain is smooth and rounded, not the best choice. A jar full of bolts works best because of all the sharp edges and threads. They are also smaller and will get in crevices better. Make sure to use steel bolts only because sometimes the last couple of bolts are harder to get out and you use a magnet on a stick to fish them out.

Try Apple Cider Vinegar, its much stronger than white vinegar, doesnt harm the paint and is only a few bob more expensive. I also used a kilo of steel gunshot from a gunshop. It's smaller that tech screws and easily removed with a magnet. My result was perfectly rust free base metal and the gunshot was so small it got deep into the seam welds. Of course i had to use baking soda immediately just as you did to stop the flash rust. It's now been 21 years since I did my ZL1000 tank and it's still like new today.

@jagitmax 6 месяцев назад

You should try the vinegar along with about 15 , 3/8" coarse thread steel bolts , the bolts have enough weight and sharp edges to scrape anything loose on the surface , your screw method is similar but the weight of the bolts is what really gets the job done , dry it out with a heat gun and the result is like new steel , have your tank sealing coating ready to go , but dont wait to coat the inside or you will get the flash rust on the fresh surface.

Never put water in your metal fuel tank. Putting water in the tank is instant Rust. And yes gasoline does eat up metal turns Rust. You think about inside of the tank is , Bair metal. When tank is new it has a Glossy look to it when look Down inside when that Glossy look start looking Dull take right then and start cleaning it. If it's oily Little scale rust use kerosene 2 or 3 times get the Varnish out of the tank use a small piece Of chain. If it's a old tank with Rust Do the same thing. Ones you've got the tank back shiny use some Lacquer thinner 2 or 3 times too get the oily residue out. Lacquer thinner will dry out fast then tank some Good old Marvin's Mystery oil take and pour like a half a cup too a cup full depending on tank size put it in Roll it around, shake it some. Then Let it Set for 20 too 30. Minutes shake and rolled around again take pour that out. And Then pour a little bit back in it. Then use the vinegar. When you get the vinegar out, pour you a bit more the Marvin Mystery oil. back in it shake it around and roll it some Marvin's mystery helps with the varnishing stuff in the gas. Get that stuff out and it also Coats and protects the metal.

You touch up the small areas of rust with Phosphoric Acid, which is the active ingredient of Jenolite. Get a gallon of 99.9% Phosphoric Acid, as it is relatively cheap. You can either use the acid neat for heavy rust or dilute it to 50% or 33% concentration with tap water. Brush it on with an acid brush (Nylon brushes tend to dissolve slowly, but will last for a few jobs). Let the acid dry out and it will convert the rust to a black ferrous phosphate layer, which can then be abraded of with a wire brush.

@@BrickHouseBuilds You can wire brush the inside of the filler neck and cap, which were still left rusty after the vinegar treatment. The rest of than can only be cleaned as you did it - with loose screws.

Add a cap full of 2 stroke oil to a full tank will help too.

rad. i was wondering how to plug an oval on my tank to do this - been using silicone plugs on tanks with circular petcock holes - nice to see your solution 🙏

@BrickHouseBuilds 6 месяцев назад

Yup just a simple plate with two holes and silicone!

I always used a bunch of nuts and bolts, chain is a better idea it’s easier to get back out.

Some moving blankets on the truck might save some damage from the hail

@BrickHouseBuilds 4 месяца назад

Had I known it was going to hail I would have done that

Take a small concrètemixer,ciné-parc and Sand.Fix the Tank with a rubbermat and Belts on the Drum and let it Turn.During that Turn the Position of the Drum and later neutralisé it again with bakingsoda.It‘s like new!

@@BrickHouseBuilds I also like to take steelwires with o Rings ( don’t Touch Inside of the Tank ,an old Batterie charger ( the new Ines don’t work),mix water with Natrium bicarbonate and start électrolysais.Important are thé eures inside .I use rubbertube Pièces so the wire doesn’t Touch the Tank.Works perfect and the „old“ Charger clean it during one Night!

I actually have a full video on how to do electrolysis on my channel. It's likely you have seen it as since I posted it many people have started doing that process.

Wonder what Coke would do for the rust? Wouldn't want to shake it though, lol! Birds were really loud singing. Wanted to cry when I seen the hail on your truck!

@aaron___6014 5 месяцев назад

Ive used gravel but a chain is a good idea.

@BrickHouseBuilds 5 месяцев назад

Yeah gravel was ok. Here is a video I did showing my results with that method ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jX_0xz50vM8.html

Great job! I had a thought; the pressure build up from the baking soda and water could you do something like that to pop out dents from a tank? Or would that be too unstable/unpredictable? Take care, and Regards from Canada 🇨🇦

@BrickHouseBuilds 5 месяцев назад

To me that's too unstable as you have no control.

@murilojoaresjoares7263 4 месяца назад

Usar pedras britadas com óleo diesel também funciona muito bem prá isso.

@hawaiibikekahuna8204 5 месяцев назад

So i rinsed out the loose rust best I could, In a Harley tank it seems there is some metal filler that runs along the right angles where it was welded. I filled it with two gallons of vinegar, 300 stainless steel lock washers, 1,000 brass BBs. I then sealed the tank outlets, let it sit 24 hours, wrapped it in two moving blankets, put it in the clothes dryer and ran it on fluff ( no heat) for a half hour, then another half hour. You can use a small cement mixer or paint shaker too.

@welostourdemocracy 21 день назад

I'm wondering if the vinegar would have worked better it it had been left to sit for at least 24 hours. I think you said you did the whole job in 4 hours. White vinegar is not a strong enough acid to need baking soda to neutralize it in a gas tank application.

@BrickHouseBuilds 21 день назад

@welostourdemocracy This works quickly. Being the 30% it's much more powerful than a 5% white vinegar. 24 hours would have been unnecessary
