No offence taken people,
I have an illness...............

Blacky - just like the majority out here in the real world agree - C31 have some great broadcasts........... pretty lame advertisments, though - gives us budding movie directors a lot of insight into "storyboarding"..........gone astray.............

The current issue.................. my thoughts..

Two words - Latin.......... Qui Bono - translates - who stands to gain?

- obviously not those who have decreed against granting this license.........

must have all their support pledged to those who do Qui Bono..........

thanks for the acknowledgement on my posts............ and I concur wholeheartedly with comments made - it won't stop me, though - you know that............


frats,

So Rat, were you able to fit your nuts in the petrol tank??

Ummm... hang on..... better say that differently..... family show here :wink:

Did you try putting some nuts in the tank and giving them a flog around in there to loosen the rust??
I can't think what to write here so this will do.

did that, what a pain in the arse to get them out again :shock: didn't really have a problem with loosening the crud, most of the solid stuff seems to be out now i just keep chucking a couple of litres of water in every couple of hours sloshing it around and tipping it out, when i go to sydney i'm gunna see if i can get filters in bulk and see how i go :roll: :? :o

Some people may cringe at this but try some acid..........

No.... not the drug acid....... thats naughty and it's naughty to take drugs :evil: :evil: :evil:

Try some sulphuric acid or hydrochloric acid in a 50/50 solution.It eats rust quickly.Roll it around in the tank and see what happens.

That said,I haven't tried this idea on a tank but have done it with other rust eating needs over the years and it works well.

If it eats out your tank, I'll know not to use it in any of my tanks!! :wink: :wink: :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

But on a serious note for anyone who hasnt used these products before read up wear a face shield gloves ect and add acid to water not water to acid a good mate of mine spent months getting skin grafts to his face and 10+ years later bright sunlight still is uncomforable for him all from clearing a blocked drain in an abitior
