Hey guys thanks for this video! Just used this method on the tank for a 2012 Honda Shadow that sat for about 7 years. Worked great and I couldn’t believe how much rust came out! I put in an inline filter as part of the project and now she’s running great with no hesitations or lurching. Thanks!

This worked like a charm! I did one to one and left it over night. Cleaned it with a pressure washer the next day. I had to go to lowes to get the works. Used a plastic bobber to plug the hole on the bottom of the tank.

I was NOT expecting to find a Rose Anvil video about how to get rust out of a gas tank when looking this up!

When diluting acid with water, you should ADD ACID AFTER the water. Acid is more dense than water and mixing water with acid is exothermic (generates heat) and it has potential to boil off violently if water is added to a concentrated strong acid. The risk of a dramatic reaction is pretty low, especially with dilute weaker acids. However, it is a good habit to add the acid to the water, not the water to the acid.

Before you add the Oil to the tank to preserve it, dry the tank completly with a hair drier. This way the tank will be completly dry when the oil is added.

Then it will already be flash-rusted. Much like using isopropyl alcohol on water-logged electronics, the acetone they suggest will help evaporate the water and leave the oil.

Okay so anyone reading this, you need to finish cleaning the tank with phosphoric acid, which is used in "rust converter" and auto body self etching primer, or Royal Jelly. You can use Muratic acid concrete cleaning acid which is hydrochloric acid. But dillute it some with water. And then don't leave it in very long because hydrochloric acid dissolves iron and steel. But the key is to rinse it out with water. Then do the same cleaning with phosphoric acid. If the rust isn't that bad you can start with phosphoric acid only. The phosphoric acid doesn't eat the clean good metal, it only removes the iron oxide (rust). The phosphoric acid turns the free iron on the surface of the steel into a hard rust resistant form of iron which is dark grey. Similar to when you blue a firearm. It's called passivation. The surface becomes more resistant to oxidation. After the phosphoric acid you'll not need to worry about it rusting unless you didn't clean the rust fully. Open non treated rust must be removed for the phosphoric acid to properly seal the metal. Hydrochloric acid does seem to remove rust very quickly although it's very aggressive and you'll want to start with a very weak solution first. Too strong of HCL acid and you'll burn through your good metal if you leave it sit too long. HCL is the same as stomach acid and our stomach acid can dissolve solid steel.

@@joelominator7752 I have been using 10% double strength vinegar for rust removal, it works well as a soak, but its too thin to spray onto stuff for rust removal. Then I discovered that adding enough detergent to the vinegar causes it to turn into a foam when sprayed on it sticks to surfaces. I used an 'earth friendly' toilet cleaner which contains 10% citric acid, oxidants and detergents as the detergent, it worked very well and increased the aggressiveness of the acid. I would be extremely careful to ensure you're only adding acid and detergent though, many people don't realize that accidentally adding even small amounts of bleach to vinegar can produce lethal concentration of chlorine gas.

Easy peasy. And funny. Thanks guys!

I have a CB 77 tank that I currently am working with,. Time is on my side so I am going with white distilled vinegar,. I started with the nuts and bolts to shake out some rust. Unfortunately we are staying home with the pandemic and my wife can’t go shopping . That means I can’t sneak an hour with the dryer to tumble the tanks with bolts and nuts so I did it by hand. The vinegar has been soaking for four days and I could still see rust on the sides of the tank through the full tank of vinegar. Then came a stroke of genius. I got an old U shaped grill brush. and cut one side of the wire off and straightened the brush out which made it twice as long. There is no part of the inside of the tank that I can’t reach and scrub down. I can already see the rust gone. I am going to let the tank soak for three more days and continue to scrub with the modified grill brush. Then I am going to clean out with Arm and Hammer washing powder to clean the tank and neutralize the acid. I will then evaluate to decide ifI will need a tank liner or not. If not I will use a little kerosine to soak into the tank to stop rust . For safety I will use a couple of external fuel filters before cranking up the bike. I have rebuilt the carbs and petcock so I want to be careful.

Definitely gonna try it.

This helped me with my first mini bike, the tank was trashed with garbage everywhere inside.

Always clean lightly rusted metal with phosphoric acid. This is what they put in self etching primer and rust converter gel. You can clean and seal steel by cleaning it with phosphoric acid. Hydrochloric acid does remove rust but it also opens up the metal to rapid flash rusting and basically ruins the integrity of the metal permanently unless you polish the metal or wash it with phosphoric acid. The phosphoric acid closes the pores of the metal. The hydrochloric acid opens the metal. This isn't scientifically accurate but it's basically how it works. Phosphoric acid converts the free iron into hard rust proof metal which is less prone to oxidation.

No, well technically yes, but... Any decent filter will have plenty of flow, don't get something from the $1 store or made for RC cars. You have a lot of excess capacity in that part of the system. Go ride as hard as you can and see how long it takes to use a gallon or gas. Now unhook the last part of your fuel delivery line and time it draining into a bucket or can.

Dont pour a tank full of vinegar and leave it for 2 weeks and i also think something should be said about the reactivity of this to aluminum parts so if your tank has internal parts like gas guage or petcock this could produce negative results in other ways you might not expect.
