I tried something Zoo Keeper posted for someone wanting to get a rusty master cylinder cleaned up. It is the first time I heard of electrolysis. I took a 5 gallon bucket,some PH balancer from the pool store and my battery charger and tried it out. My heater core case & blower motor housing had been home for field mice for years when I got my truck. The inside was rusted pretty badly. I have tried D-Rust-it on some other parts and it works great, but is a little expensive for me.So I tried electrolysis on my heater box.Four hours in the bucket and it came out coated with crud. I wire brushed it for about 60 seconds and hit it with the garden hose.I was amazed. It was completely clean of rust,old paint,everything. I told my wife I was going to push the whole truck into the pool & derust it. She said if I do I will never live to see how it worked. grin
Thanks Zoo Keeper for a cheap way to clean my rusty parts. smile

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
