I find myself watching your videos that don't even apply to my project. Some day they will cause my I want a bug.

@SladesVWBeetle 7 месяцев назад

Well, thank you for leaving a comment and thank you for watching the videos. I truly appreciate that.

@@SladesVWBeetle I try to like them all. Just because but sometimes I forget.

@terrylane7038 7 месяцев назад

I'd also like to say you've taught me a lot about my motor assembly. Well hopefully cause parts will be here Friday.

@SladesVWBeetle 7 месяцев назад

@@terrylane7038 that’s awesome, just take your time and move slow while doing the union work. I will have more videos up on that subject, but that will be a little while.

@@SladesVWBeetle Just new jugs, pistons, wrist pins oh and rings of course. I seen someone using lapping compound between jugs and block. Do you suggest that or just copper seal? Thank you for your time.

Thank God for funnels, 😂! The rust is gone and that’s great, stay safe!

@SladesVWBeetle 4 года назад

I know without funnels, I’m messy!! Haha! Peace and Blessings to you and your family my friend. ✌🏼✌🏼

Lets see how it does on the wrenches!! Keep up the great work brother!!

@SladesVWBeetle 4 года назад

Hey brother!! Thanks for stopping by!! I soaked and old bilstein original VW jack in it. It looks like brand new.

@williamtanner1372 4 года назад

Wow, that actually worked. More good information.

@SladesVWBeetle 4 года назад

Thanks William! Yes it sincerely worked. I’m always shocked when a product actually works now 🤦🏻‍♂️

@scottiencali 4 года назад

Wow you did it the nice and easy and safe way. Mine had some rust in it..not a lot..but i wanted to clean it anyway. I took Pool Acid (Phosphoric) and dumped like 1/4 gallon of it in there with a link chain about 6 ft long and swished it around in there and left it overnight...dumped it out in a compost pile..and that thing was clean as a whistle!! I think id rather have done it your way..that pool acid is tough on the nose!! Great vid tho!! Thanks!

@SladesVWBeetle 4 года назад

I have heard of others doing that and it works quite well. Please!! For goodness sakes, please wear a respirator. My father died in February, from never wearing a mask. This stuff actually works very nicely. To be quite honest with you I was quite surprised. Thanks so much for being here.

@jedschleisner8960 3 года назад

I really like your delivery! I’m about to do this to my Ghia, I just got. The tank is out and I’m going to find some evapo rust. Thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, I truly hope it goes very smooth for you. And thank you for being part of the community here.

@TimsWorkshopTJY 4 года назад

Saving the old metal tanks if thickness is not compromised is staying true to being classic but if need be plastic is a great replacement

@SladesVWBeetle 4 года назад

They don’t sell any plastic for mine unfortunately. Seemed to work well Tim!

@houseonpleasantstreet9774 4 года назад

Nice results. Will have to try that on my project....it sat for 9 yrs. Haven't looked inside yet but I'm sure its nasty.

@SladesVWBeetle 4 года назад

Honestly it worked much better, then I thought it was going to. So I threw a couple of other tools and things I had into a container of that stuff. The next day they come out looking like brand new. That’s why I try to share things with people I never even knew about this stuff. Thanks for being here

@hillbrothersarcade7630 3 года назад

Great and informative video as usual. Shop manual suggest to prevent flash rust, you can use radiator coolant.

@SladesVWBeetle 4 года назад

Thanks for being here! Yes anti freeze will work. But I was concerned about putting that in the video and someone not cleaning it back out good enough....then ya know 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

@greglogan73 4 года назад

Awesome video, i will be doing that soon...i have 2 tanks, maybe I will fix the worst one now... I put a bunch of rocks in the worst one....shook like hell, and then realized there is a lot of holes in the bottom...damn lol.. Nice engine selection...you should be able to have an amazing good runner very soon

@SladesVWBeetle 4 года назад

Oh geez!! Holes are not a good thing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️ I am amazed, that this chemical worked as well as it did. I even tried it on a couple of other things and it just remove the rust like it never existed. Thanks so much for being here Greg, I truly appreciate it.

@jodywillis8918 3 года назад

We have used evaporust... And have had good results from it... Also 👍 on the camera work.... Ur go pro must be working out good!! 😁

@SladesVWBeetle 3 года назад

Thank you very much Jody, thanks for being here. That stuff seems to work much better than I expected it to. I’m really happy with the outcome.

@davemcaferty6347 2 года назад

Good video viniger works good but you have to let it sit a lot longer

@SladesVWBeetle 4 года назад

Absolutely glad to help out. It truly worked much better than I thought it was going to. I hope they sell it near you!

@jonathanfarmer3653 4 года назад

I will have to give that a try myself. My tank has a bit more rust than yours so I may have to do a bit more work to mine first. Keep these vids coming. 🤜🤛

@SladesVWBeetle 4 года назад

Thanks very much Jonathan! It really does work, just let it sit overnight for 24 hours. If it didn’t remove all of it completely, then let it sit again. It does honestly Work I was surprised myself.

@jonathanfarmer3653 4 года назад

Slades VW Beetle my 73 Super has done a lot of sitting over the last few years I think. Before I started my tear down flakes of rust where getting caught in my fuel filter, like a whole lot. I may have to end up replacing the tank in the end, I haven’t pulled it yet to look. Hoping I can save it though. 👍

@SladesVWBeetle 4 года назад

Jonathan Farmer It honestly might be salvageable. I like to let the stuff sit for 24 hours although it says 2 to 4 hours. I have a video on here further down for cleaning your main fuel line out in the tunnel. You might want to take a look at that. Every little bit helps a lot

@jonathanfarmer3653 4 года назад

Slades VW Beetle I am gonna replace all my fuel lines, including the metal one that runs down the tunnel. I am actually gonna do a pan off over the winter, it needs floor pans and all that. 👍

@SladesVWBeetle 4 года назад

We will be doing that, at the same time my friend. I have a 71 standard I am getting for my next project. I’m taking the body off of it, and going completely pan up. That will make for some interesting videos

I just may give this a shot. I'm going to.try the way I cleaned my.miata first. I used wd40. Worked great I made a video.on it. If it doesn't work, I'm trying this idea

@SladesVWBeetle 3 года назад

It honestly worked, I was quite surprised! My buddy told me about it, since they use it at their factory where he works.

@dougcurtis578 2 года назад

Very informative! My '68 Ghia's tank has rust chunks in it. Is that too far gone? Should I just find a better tank?

@SladesVWBeetle 2 года назад

If there’s actual chunks, you can try putting some nuts and bolts in a tank or a big piece of chain and shaking it around to break everything loose and then rinse it out. But you Gotta make sure you don’t have a bunch of pinhole leaks everywhere.

@@SladesVWBeetle Thank you! I will give it a go.

@danielneuenschwander7381 2 года назад

I appreciate this video as I am in the process of working on a 74 SB Convertible to getting it back on the road. Also, and I can't find any real answers to this, but is there an internal screen in the SB fuel tank bottom that can be accessed by a hex/allen key type plug and R&R'd with long needle nose pliers?

@SladesVWBeetle 2 года назад

Thank you for the kind comment and thank you for being here. I do believe on your gas tank there should be a screen in the bottom. When you remove the plug out of the bottom it will pull out.

@junehoover8627 Год назад

Drain and rinse?

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

I did a drain and rinse, and also a few other things I am going to do my current one in a few weeks to see how well it will clean up!

@jayoyler8840 Год назад

Great video. Should save me a couple hundred bucks. Do you have one on window rubbers? Or any tips? I have seen some, but none look very easy

@historyhighlightswithlaney318 4 года назад

I should have asked if it works on household items that may be rushed?

@SladesVWBeetle 4 года назад

Yes it honestly will. I’m amazed how well it really works.

@michaelkilmer3880 2 года назад

we are about to use in our gas tank. What did you use to block the larger openings in the tank?

@SladesVWBeetle 2 года назад

Oddly enough I used thick Ziploc bags. Covered the holes and use zip ties to pull them very tight. I surely hope that made sense.

@michaelkilmer3880 2 года назад

Makes perfect sense. I will give it a try. Thank you

@ghanaf84 3 года назад

Is there an alternative i can use to (evaporust) because its not available were I live. I read somewhere that the tank can be filled with Diesel and left for a day any thoughts on that?

@SladesVWBeetle 3 года назад

Actually many people use diesel, and often times, folks have used kerosene. Now something I did about four years ago. I used vinegar in a gas tank. I left it sit for about three days. And it truly worked.

@historyhighlightswithlaney318 4 года назад

Hey Old the road again, 😂! The engine sounds like a lot of work! I saw the rust. Does that product remove rust from other rusted items?

@SladesVWBeetle 4 года назад

Hey my friend!! Yeah the engine is a lot of work for sure! It will remove rust from anything you have. Tools, garden tools. Just soak for 24 hours, then rinse with water. ✌🏼

@pawleymediaconsultantsllc5 4 года назад

Is this just for gas tanks ? Can I put it on my floor boards as well ?

@SladesVWBeetle 4 года назад

pawley media consultants llc Honestly it works on anything. Now putting on your floorboards might be a little awkward. I imagine you would need a lot of it to pour on where it would lay on the floor boards. So that might be a little tricky. I did take some old rusty tools to see what it would do. And they looked brand new

@lillyblue1907 4 года назад

Did you film putting the new rubber around driver and passenger side door window?

@SladesVWBeetle 4 года назад

No I did not, I will be on my next beetle that’s coming in soon to restore. But that might be a little ways off. Of course if any of my friends need it done I will film it.
