These rust removal videos are always like an infomercial. It always looks so easy. Then you spend a few days working on a tank and it still has all of the rust at the bottom, and nothing seems to remove it. Unless maybe you break out the hydrochloric (Muratic) acid. The black water is supposedly the iron oxide turned to iron oxide III, which is Magnetite. Fe3O4 (magnitite) is jet black. The chemical reaction turns the brown iron oxide into black iron oxide. Black iron oxide cannot cause further rusting. On a microscopic level, your gas tank is now coated in black iron oxide, either magnitite Fe3O4 or something similar. This is a form of passivation. Passivation acts like a natural form of galvanizing layer on the steel. Stainless steel uses the chromium in the stainless steel to protect the iron from oxygen. In steel gas tanks, magnitite seals the steel from oxygen, so it cannot rust as easily. Steel always rusts, but it's a lot less prone to rust when cleaned with rust converter, evaporust, metal rescue, phosphoric acid, citric acid, or physical polishing. If you use hydrochloric acid to remove the rust, it won't form the passivization layer of magnetite and it will cause massive increases in rust later down the road. I think this is is how it works. I could be wrong. The point is, use the right product on your final rinse, or expect no passivation and runaway rust.
Yes I used it after seeing your video. Tank had been cleaned a year ago and then sat at a painter and etc. Lots of surface rust and some thicker residue down on the lower seam. Soaked it 6hrs with occasional shaking. Drained it out into a bucket for inspection of debris and yes there was some. Inside the tank is just like new. Rinsed and dried its ready to go. Good Product. Good Video.
That is a great product. It should be sold everywhere! I would have tried a strong degreaser like B52 or Purple Power to get the residue out before using the Metal Rescue.
So I tried METAL RESCUE in October (2020) on my 2001 ZRX 1200 tank that had been sitting for about 6 years in a climate controlled shop. I always run non ethanol fuel and I did put stabile in it . Tank was about 1/3 full and developed a rust coat that could be scrapped off with some effort thru the fill neck. After draining old gas and a very small amount of washing the inside with a electric (1500 psi) pressure washer, I added the METAL RESCUE. This was done about 4pm on a warm 85 degree day. I let it sit over night and drained the tank contents the next morning about 9am. I WAS VERY HAPPY with the results. It looked new again. The petcock and the sending unit were toast due to time/fuel, but the inside meatal was perfect !!! I'm glad I found your channel and METAL RESCUE. Thanks guys !!
This looks like some amazing stuff, I have a 1977 Kawasaki KE100 im working on and I used some white vinegar and got rid of a fair amount of rust but there's still a lot left. Probably gonna go out and get this stuff.
Amazing ,Thanks Mate that is better than the Acid I was about to use on my 800 Boulevard Tank that looks not quite as bad as that Kwaka 900 Tank and I won't have to freak out so much about the Paint which looks new, Great job
I used this on my tank a couple of years ago...came out very good...but it soon started to rust again...I think I may have rinsed it out with water....I here you don't need to coat ti with anything as long as you rinse with gas and then fill it up with non ethanol right away...thoughts? Thanks
Been using this product for years . I use it undiluted. You can get it in 5 gallon pails. To make sure I get everything out I use a pressure washer . Perfect every time Also I let the tank sit upside down for a period..
On the petcock opening use a 2” long rubber hose and hose clamp to attach hose to the tank. Plug the bottom with a rubber stopper and hose clamp. For the gas inlet use an expandable plumbers plug( screw to tighten type) to seal the top. No chance of leakage. Cleaned and coated inside. This preserves you classic paint finish. My 1975 Z1-b tank restored perfectly. The original Chrome Jackhammer lives.
Buddy had this with his DR after letting it set with gas in it for 22 years. We bought a used tank because his was so bad I was afraid the tank was too thin under all that rust even if we got it out. Which we could have with chemical rust remover like what they used in this video or Evaporust.
Try a product called evapo-rust it's just like metal works eye, and skin friendly, it wont hurt your paint, it works very very well on rusted tanks I'm redoing a 1980 cb900c tank to go on my 1981 cb900c and the after work is amazing
Correction,Ethanol, the crap they now add to petrol absorbs water & thats what causes the rust.It's also heavier than petrol that's why so many classic/vintage tanks are now rotting out on the bottom most sections.
I use this stuff when I'm trying to get rust off old nuts and bolts. It's good stuff, but not cheap. I've used electrolysis with some success, vinegar seems to flash rust before you can rinse it out, but you need something in there first to dissolve the old varnish before you do any of it. You have to be careful what you choose because something like acetone dissolves paint just as well. Use your left over covid alcohol to rinse water out and mild heat from a hair dryer to dry it. You can warp the metal with a heat gun in my experience. As mentioned by a few people, if storing the tank empty, about an ounce of 2 stroke oil with a couple of ounces of gas. Slosh it around to coat raw metal so it doesn't rust and remove excess with an old turkey baster (dollar store). Keep tank topped off when using it with higher octane (low ethanol) gas. I've never owned a new bike, but apparently they come from the factory with "burnished" raw metal. My old interceptor tank has a cross over pipe which tends to get nicked by guys putting the gas nozzle in too far. A local bike shop advised me not to coat it because the coating gets nicked in this way and eventually starts to rust underneath and release the coating. Thanks for the video, I may have to give this a try with my tank before I put it back on the bike.
@@aldrinmabanta I filled mine to the top put caps on and shake it or roll it over a few times over a few days. nothing but clean metal. I done this a few times and it works. If you have some type of liner in the tank you will need something stonger to remove liner.
@@glowiever it will kill the rust after you will need to rinse out with denatured alcohol or acetone to get the last bit of water and kill the vinegar.
loves the video, tried the vinegar trick which caused flash rust but this obviously doesn't happen with this method, but I was wondering what oil you put in the tank afterward until gas hits the metal, engine oil? thanks for the video!
G'day Brandon, I used Apple Cider vinegar in mine with a handful of fish tank gravel. Worked wonders, no flash rust, not a mark on the paint and cheap as chips too.
Rust WILL return almost immediately after using Metal Rescue. I'm positive. It does its job very well, but you will absolutely need to seal the tank. (Caswell, POR 15, Red-Kote, etc.)
1/2 kg citric acid and very hot water on a hot summer day will easily remove any rust, rinse 2-3 times with hot water, finish rinse with white spirit or alcohol to take out the rest of the water, let dry in the sun, fill in gasoline right away, preferably without methanol, or rinse with gasoline mix with oil if you store it
It is matter of choice , but I prefer to clean inside using electrolysis and rinse with kerosene or #1 diesel fuel to prevent rust immediately after rinsing..I don't like any of the cream liners because they end up peeling eventually.. then you have a REAL mess.
@@Johnnysvintage do you have to get the oil out before putting gas in or does it just kinda seal things up? how long should you wait until you put gas in after the oil?
Speaking of tank washing I am in need a of a tank first lol....all kidding aside I have a 85 ZN700 LTD and I got it with no tank and I am not having much luck finding one do you know where I can find one or is there another tank I might get away with using thanks in advance great video btw I will have to give it a GO
Hi Bruce. I looked into the parts for your ZN700 LTD and you're not kidding, parts for these bikes are hard to find! You sent me another list on this site and I cannot locate it to answer you directly from there. The only thing we have available are the intake rubbers. You need four, but we only have three in stock. The part number is 16065-1056, superceded number is 16065-1132. $20 each. If you are interested, please give us a call. 330-335-7365 or email info@johnnysvintagemotorcycle.com
Very nice! I will definitely try this next time. For those concerned with flash rusting....this is NOT an acid. Here is some information from the website: Does not remove properties of the metal, does not etch the metal like an acid, leaves metal surface intact and less susceptible to return/flash rusting.
Capt Larry, we warn against using tank coating because it doesn't last forever, and can flake off and get into the carbs, causing other problems. We get a few previously-coated tanks in here and its a nightmare to clean them out. Thanks again for watching.
I don't know about the Tank but those sidewalks and driveway could use some CLR to remove those Rust stains and by the way don't dump rusty water on your cement it leaves rust stains
We sell them on our website. The newest version is printed on stain-friendly gray: www.johnnysvintagemotorcycle.com/product/johnnys-vintage-kawasaki-ringer-t-shirt/

Why do you not specify what Metal Rescue bath is composed of? I was going to buy it, but did some more research but couldn't find any information on what it has inside. I did find this: www.homedepot.com/catalog/pdfImages/71/7163e126-8711-4c1d-b330-625107cfffa9.pdf but that gives no information on what it's made of. All we know is that it's slightly acidic on the pH scale, and that it's water based. Why don't you put out more information on what's inside it? Your video is more of an advertisement than anything. I'd like to know what it's composed of.
Hes saying grease. Ive got a rust issue with mine. Anyone know a good rust remover? Have no idea how or why but my 2002 shadow looks like a boat anchor. The screen on the pet cock valve literally crumbled apart as i was removing the valve. Ive git a 1976 yamaha gt 80 that has sat for 10- 20 years at a time and ive drained the gas added fresh swirreled it around. Drained and refilled and fired it right up. My shadow did this in just a couple years. I saw restoring can be as much as 400. To clean one out. Id ratger buy a new one for 600. Or an after market for a few hundred if anybody knows of a fat bob style tank that will fit a 2002 750 shadow please pass on the info.
You'd need to finish the job by coating (sealing) the tank w/ Caswell, POR 15, Red-Kote, etc., to prevent the rust from immediately returning. This should have been mentioned.
In the past we've tried several different liners and never had good luck with them. We've watch them disintegrate and go back into the petcock and even the carburetors.
Hey Guys. I just did this with Metal Rescue on my 1981 Kawasaki GPZ 1100. Worked out great and seemed to leave the metal coated but used WD 40 afterwards just in case. I was only able to get two bottles of the concentrate in my area to used on a 5.5 gallon tank but the tank wasn`t very bad to begin with. Took 48 hours because of the diluted solution. Thanks for your advice.
This guy is in the motorcycle biz, but he cannot look up the capacity of the tank, and cannot see from experience that it is at least 4 gallons or more ? oh boy.. this should be good. Why do we keep getting nimbods dressed up in fancy shirts posing as people who know things ?
Capt Larry, I was concentrating more on the product and the process than I was the specs of the tank. But thank you for your input and thanks for watching our vids.
3 bottles of the Metal Rescue Concentrate is sufficient to clean up the Z1 tank. As you can see it worked beautifully. Thanks for the input and interest

We also like Metal Rescue because it's reusable, 1 gallon of Metal Rescue will remove up to 1/2lb of rust. Environmentally-friendly also.

Do you have to put on a sealer after electrolysis?
What are your rates for say a honda goldwing tank?
hey bud.. do i have to remove the fuel pump when i use this prodoct ???
If you're talking about the fuel valve, I would recommend removing it first.
