@@manitoba-op4jx from NH, can confirm. Anything other than stainless exhaust lasts like 2-3 years before its rusted out and needs replacing. Wash your car every week in winter or your rocker panels, wheel wells, and floorpan will be gone too.
@@kennethanway7979 I needed a truck while working near ft wayne a few years back. I looked at about a dozen 5 year old trucks. Every last one was heavily rusted underneath, I decided to keep renting for the duration.

On boats in seawater, the most common casualty of galvanic corrosion is a bronze or aluminum propeller on a stainless steel shaft, but metal struts, rudders, rudder fittings, outboards, and stern drives are also at risk. You can counteract galvanic corrosion by adding sacrificial annode or zincs. Your zinc carburetor essentially acted as a sacrificial zinc limiting corrosion on the rest of the assorted metals.
The carb isn't zinc. It's aluminum. Aluminum is a more reactive metal yet than zinc and so serves especially well as the sacrificial. There are 2 key processes happening with this. One is the galvanic corrosion you mentioned. This happens any time 2 (or more) different metals are in electrical contact with each other ("bonded") and are in connected volumes of electrolyte (the salt water). They behave as a shorted "cell" and give the electrons the path they need (via the bond) for the reaction to take place. This will go as long as there is cathode material to react, electrolyte is present, and the bonding is intact. The other is that the chlorine in the salt catalyzes "normal" corrosion by what amounts to a "partial reaction" (called a half-cell in electrochemistry) and if there is oxygen present, it can "steal" the metal ions, causing corrosion without an external electron path. It's not cut and dry and is way too much to try and put into a RUclips comment but that's basically what is happening. If you want to see this on steroids, behavior closer to what is seen under cars in areas that salt for ice and snow, bubble air up thru the pool water. There will be a *huge* difference between that and what you saw here.
@@MadScientist267 Zinc is less noble than aluminum, by just a little bit. It's why it's very important you keep the zinc/magnesium anodes on your aluminum boat up to snuff, especially in seawater. As soon as the sacrificial zinc disappears or is too heavily corroded, your aluminum hull will be next. Assuming you have an inboard or leave the drive in the water.
I only brought this up because I thought the translation said the carb and some other parts that were badly corroded were a zinc alloy? If I heard wrong, I retract it all!
You could have just asked any mechanic in SW Florida to send you video from the past few months. Hurricane Ian flooded ~350,000 cars with both salt and fresh water. In general, most of them were willing to start provided you didn't hydro-lock the engine first. BUT... long-term is a different story.
@@Grumpy_old_Boot Straight to the crushed actually. There's not much worth salvaging from a car which was flooded. Interior, engine, and electronics are all trashed at that point.
Reminds me of the time Top Gear put the Hilux in the ocean and brought it out and started it up. Also I think all the oil buildup on the engine and around it on every single part around help saved major components from rusting, if you ever look at rust belt cars, they always run, but it’s usually frame and chassis damage they suffer from, because usually those are exposed unprotected metal.
This is actually a useful video in the real world. The other videos are hilarious, but seldom will you need to make wheels out of paper or fill tires with concrete. However, salt-water damaged cars are a real thing, and it was interesting to see which points were most affected.
Nothing. The water separated into salt on top and fresh down below because they have different densities and there was no flow. That's why there was algae below and a visible separation
@@KNR90 I was thinking more about what would happen once it's out of the water. I've heard that you have to wash your car VERY thoroughly once you've driven over a salt flat.
But they didn't understand salt vs fresh water density. The fresh water underneath had algae. The top was salty. They had salt deposits on the top and thought it was a weird kind of oxide. It's salt from the upper layer. They are mechanics but don't know shit about middle school science
I would love to see this exact experiment but with one or 2 fish tank bubblers (The things that give the still water oxygen) and see what the effect would be after 5 weeks of oxygenated salt water. Would be amazing to see how much more corroded it would be
In some european countries(example finland), cars are exposured to roadsalt for 4-5 months every year during winter times. Because of this lots cars are prematurely destroyed from frames and body by rust.
The translator always makes me laugh when he changes his voice slightly to translate dialogue... When the guys were using two way radios, and the translator made it sound like he was talking in a walkie talkie I almost died.
Would you try again, but adding oxygen via these porous stones on various places in the swimming pool, like a fish aquarium? Great video again, Garage 54 rocks.
I'm quite surprised nobody in the comments has mentioned that you need a huge amount of salt, way more than what they used to match the salinity of seawater! The layer of saturated saltwater at the bottom should have been pumped around or at least mixed by hand once a week
Yet for some reason in the northern US they spray the roads with a ton of salt & salt water here in the winter, this past winter was very up & down in temp, it would get just cold enough for them to decide to go out & spray all the roads then get warm again leaving everything wet & salty, it completely rotted the whole exhaust on my car that was only installed 2 years ago...
The different metals touching would create some galvanic corrosion through electrolysis in the saltwater. The zinc coted parts saved the iron/steel in the engine by corroding first.
It's a very complex series of reactions but that is indeed part of it. A steel part electrically connected to an aluminum part will indeed corrode both in a salt bath. Aluminum is more reactive than iron, hence things like the carb suffering the most. Aluminum is in extensive use but it is thin and "fragile" in the carb. The biggest player in corrosion in salt water is the presence of oxygen. Vlad only touched on the idea, and the "limit" of the action of the salt water is largely due to the oxygen dissolved in the water being sequestered by the metal. Once it is gone from the water, the chlorine in the salt can only act with galvanic, and things slow way down. They can only proceed at the rate the oxygen can diffuse into the water at the surface and make its way down to the metals via convection currents driven largely by heat and to a lesser extent, density. This is why when they raise an artifact from the sea floor that they want to preserve as much as possible, they will keep it in a sample of water close in composition to the water it was originally in (usually by just taking some with it when they pull it up from the bottom). The water is more depleted of oxygen than anything they could mix up at the surface, and this shields the metals and protects them from further degradation. You may have noticed how much worse the carb got on the surface after it had been sitting out and dry as they got the engine running on a known good carb. That's aluminum oxide and will continue to grow for some time to come as long as there is chlorine available in remnant salt to catalyze its creation. Fun stuff.
I love the evolution of this channel. From a dude in a run out single car garage to a multi-vehicle, multi-employee garage. Yay! I hope all my views and Likes the last 3 years helped
The car ferry that caught fire recently (Freemantle) some cars were still ok, some damaged and they at the moment are putting EV cars which are damaged in salt water tanks - straightaway they start to smoulder. Salt water makes lithium batteries inert after a bit.
Actually, none of the EVs that were on that ship were damaged. The fire wasn't even started by the EVs. They were on the lower levels, while the fire was started on an upper level.
@@charlesball6519 You might want to reconsider your assertion, or explain why some verified photo's appear to show quite a few totally incinerated Porche EV's. There very clearly were some EV casualties, meanwhile some others have been able to be disembarked under their own power after just a quick jet wash at the ramp, and some others have have to be dunked to safely inert them after suffering fire damage. The authorities, and even the salvage company said some fairly crazy stuff initially, which 'Chinese whispers' have conveniently twisted to suit various agendas or conspiracies.
I've worked on more than one vehicle that got submerged in salt water. There's a reason most insurance companies total a car like that, it costs more to fix than it's worth and it will never be as good as it was before. You'll never find all the rust and corrosion.
Hurricane cars are the worst ones. After the long time spent sitting in the auction lot there’s not much salvageable left. Look at all the headaches Tavarish is having with that Mc Laren.
We here in newfoundland life next to the salt water. So the truck used on the fishplants that are constantly abused with salt water are rusted beyond belief even the newer models don't take long to rust out
Aluminum acts as an anode when attached to steel and draws the corrosion to it zinc does the same thing and is used on boats and ships to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion
Another thing you could do to cause even more rust is submerge the car in salt water, get a DC power supply, hook the anode to the roof of the car so that the whole car rusts, and place the cathode underwater away from the car
In case yall will be tempted to try this again, id run a garden hose with tiny holes in the bottom of the pool, supplied with air to make bubbles (hence oxygen), and also would try slightly acidify the water. Should be devastating for the car
Love to watch your videos from Pakistan, They are super amazing what i think what if we do this and that Garage 54 does it for us. very informative videos
The build up on zinc, or zinc containing parts. Parts containing zinc, salt water which is an electrolyte are two thirds of what it takes to kind of make a battery. Add copper and you almost made an everready classic carbon zinc battery (kind of). Also think of the sacrificial electrode in a water heater or on boat motors. The galvanic reaction, electrolysis eats those components away so more important components stay usable for longer periods of time. Also, if electricity is present the reaction is much faster.
The oxide isn't an oxide. It's just salt. The water wasn't mixing to the salty upper layer separated from the fresh lower layer. That's why you had algae down low, a visible separation, and white on everything up high. It's excess salt
You forgot to add the crustation effect...you know Barnicles...I had a 1981 DMC Delorean that was FULLY submerged in salt water...for about a month or so..that was pushed off a dock in Bridgeport Connecticut USA(Stolen) back in 1982...and it was LOADED with crustations(Barnacles) which attached themselves to the frame and Stainless Steel Panels in effect the engine was no good..the Frame cleaned right up like new(it was epoxy coated from the factory) the leather "could" be restored with a lot of work and the Stainless Steel panels were OK except where the barnacles attached themselves which needed to be Re-grained...all in all THREE BARRELs full of Barnacles...tons of sand and ocean debris...a very hard sea water smell a few baby starfish was what removed ..all aluminum was totally shot and like you any bare metal was heavily rusted...the Delorean has a Raw Black Fiberglas body under the SS...so that cleaned up well...surprisingly the aluminum wheels cleaned up well and were reusable.I used a Totaled New Delorean to fix the Submarine Delorean..none of the orignal drivetrain was used or the wiring or interior or dash etc.
Can we appreciate how nicely their cars are designed he just installed his gauge cluster in 5 seconds. Takes like 30 minutes for cars nowadays in America.
I live in Canada when I was a teenager my car went through the ice it was in there for a month before we could finally get it out. Took a week of drying and I drove that car for 2 more years. Mind you you it was fresh water the only thing that never worked again was the gauge cluster Besides that it worked great but it always smelt like fish. 1983 Bonneville.

Asbestos is a broad term for a variety of natural fibrous minerals from around the world. A town named 'Asbestos' in Québec is where it was first mined commercialy.
Looks like some sacrificial anode action going on for those parts with zinc... And yeah, looks like a car after winter here were we abuse the roads, cars, and environment with salt.
Placing a car in brine will also generate a voltage that would light-up a string of LEDs for weeks. They should have done that too! Free energy from a Scrap Car! Let us hope they try this again with lights attached to the car, and complete a circuit.
I don't think they let it get in the carburetor from that 1 part in the video. It didn't look High enough to get inside of the carb not that I couldn't leak somewhere else after a month.
One month submerged in salt water? I can tell you right now it won’t start ever again. Even after a day, it might run for awhile, but eventually won’t. Back in 2005, after hurricane Wilma flooded most of Key West Florida, suddenly many people were driving new cars around. Because the salt water corroded all the electrics in their old car. That’s what happened to my friends ‘93 Geo Metro. We moved to Florida in that tiny hatchback and it ran like a champ from Hawaii, to Indiana, to Florida. But that salt water was the end.
Its like everyone always has said if you dunk your vehicle in salt water you will be ok as long as you get it out in a reasonable amount of time and then proceed to rinse it well and blow everything out to get rid of the salt
zinc is a sacrificial diode, meaning in a wet enviroment like that it will corrode away versus others metals like steal if they are in contact or maybe even close. check out cathode protection its interesting

Placing a car in brine will also generate a voltage that would light-up a string of LEDs for weeks. They should have done that too! Free energy from a Scrap Car! Let us hope they try this again with lights attached to the car, and complete a circuit.
Redo with air hose and bubbles, maybe air operation pump to stir water. Bet it would be soup

I don't think they let it get in the carburetor from that 1 part in the video. It didn't look High enough to get inside of the carb not that I couldn't leak somewhere else after a month.
If you'd put a bubbler in the water (like what you use in a fish tank, but bigger), it probably would have dissolved the car entirely... :P
Hell yeah right on time!!
Try the same thing but set up a power supply at 50 v connect the positive side to the car and the negative to a block of copper and see what happens
Try giving that car to my ex-wife… she so salty, she’ll rust that thing to dust around her in 20 minutes flat… starting with the cloth seats!
Your ex wife can't understand normal thinking can she
One month submerged in salt water? I can tell you right now it won’t start ever again. Even after a day, it might run for awhile, but eventually won’t. Back in 2005, after hurricane Wilma flooded most of Key West Florida, suddenly many people were driving new cars around. Because the salt water corroded all the electrics in their old car. That’s what happened to my friends ‘93 Geo Metro. We moved to Florida in that tiny hatchback and it ran like a champ from Hawaii, to Indiana, to Florida. But that salt water was the end.
If I ever accidentally drive my car into the ocean and forget about it for a year, I'm calling you guys.
Suggestion for a video. Cut open a bunch of valve stems. Collect the sodium. Drop the sodium in water and see if it explodes.
Its like everyone always has said if you dunk your vehicle in salt water you will be ok as long as you get it out in a reasonable amount of time and then proceed to rinse it well and blow everything out to get rid of the salt
Quality Assurance guaranteed
The funny thing is it’ll rust way worse now that it’s exposed to the air, that’s why the titanic still exists as oxygen plays a big part in rust
2:50 what a reference
I would like to see the reaction of the guy who had to "test" if the water is salty after 5 weeks. Yum😅
zinc is a sacrificial diode, meaning in a wet enviroment like that it will corrode away versus others metals like steal if they are in contact or maybe even close. check out cathode protection its interesting
5:34 The score here makes me think of Portal 2.
that has GOT the be the fastest "hey there fellas" this guy's ever said. it sounded like he just said "hthrfls"
