Dirty tank

[nigel1967]

Hi Chaps what's the best way to clean out the rust from tank.

I have some 10mm rounded stones, wrapped the tank in blankets and then securely fitted to a electric cement mixer left it to run for 1/2 hr, then used the rust sealer and proofer prior to flattening the tank back and painting..

Would this work?

Salt water and battery charger? How does that work?

What do you use for an electrode

I use a threaded bar bit of hosepipe on the bottom & a piece on the top 2 rest against tank
live on the tank & earth the rod

Hi,
If you follow this link, it should show you the pics and write up of when I did two tanks with the electrolosis or reverse elecvtrolosis thing.
There is loads of stuff about it online and on utube too.

Red to black and blue/blew to fook !!!......... ...I had to check there, its live or RED + on the rod or bar you stick down the filler hole and Black - onto a bare bit of steel on the tank.

Bit disappointed, thought the thread was titled Dirty Wank need to upgrade these reading glasses. I'm liking the above idea all the same.
