I used a Harbor freight china cement mixer also ..put tank in blankets in drum to protect it . Gotta tape jackets blanket really good to keep tank in it .
Yeah I agree with some others who said that those of you saying "just use a cement mixer" are missing the whole point of - well, of everything Mustie does. Great work Darrin and a fun contraption!
That is true, but had Edison been privy to the other inventors doing the same thing, he would not have duplicated efforts and failures, as in learning from what's already been done an available. He had, as far as records list, approximately 2000 failed attempts at the light bulb, more than half of those had already been attempted by others. Re-inventing the wheel is not always productive. Mustie is the king of yard sale finds, a used cement mixer would have been on my radar. Having used one many times, it was the first thing that came to mind, still is. A stand that pivots, a near perfect speed of rotation (centrifugal forces have already been addressed), a working height nearly optimal, lots of room for modifications. No, I'm not missing the point, I see the room for improvement and less duplication of effort in a mechanism that has already solved 75% of the design problems.
Hi Mustie I’m Steve from across the pond in Peterborough Uk , it’s my day off from work today , I’m home alone as the wife is on shift as nurse until 10pm tonight , so it was great to wake up late morning to your new video . Well thank you is all I can say I’m in awe of your greatness and love tuning to wwatch you tinker with cars or engines and then your brilliance when you fabricate parts and make a contraption like this . Ingenious idea and great to see how you tackle the idea to the end , and beyond as I’m sure this will come back with modifications .Any thank you for your company great Watch . Just wish there was more to watch , but I’ll be tuned next time you deliver a movie . Thanks Steve 🇬🇧
Have you watched his (Mustie1) entire catalog of videos? Only other channel I watch that is in this vein is Bruce in AUS. Love his V-12 dumptruck series
Years ago we needed something similar for both removing paint from steel parts and for rusty tanks. The first rendition of the rig we made started out with an old dragster rear axle that had been retired for a cracked housing. It was narrow, maybe 25" hub to hub. I drilled and bolted an old pulley to the pinion, mounted the thing on a steel frame atop a panel cart like they have at Home Depot, then on each side I attached a 3x3ft wire bread rack/shelf that someone had trash picked years ago from a local mini mart that closed up. On one side I attached four springs, and four hooks, the springs were similar to garage door springs, strong enough to hold a 20 gallon fuel tank full of pebbles or steel shot. The other side had a steel plate with about 40 1" holes and 40 1/2" holes so things can be attached with black bungie cords, and I also welded a plate to a 15 gallon oil barrel with a ring clamp on top so we could put small parts it for tumbling. For power we used a 2hp motor off an old air compressor. It was on wheels, so it could be put outside where we didn't have to listen to it all day. We would put it in an old barn out behind the shop so it could run all night if needed. The motor sat on the bottom of the cart, the belt ran up to the pinion which had a power steering pulley off a power steering pump drilled and cored to fit the pinion yoke, and the motor had a 2" sheave. There was a spring loaded belt tensioner that I added because the thing was hard to start sometimes when it was cold outside, we would turn on the motor and ease the tensioner back against the belt to get big loads turning. We used it for years. I left that place and the last I heard the owners were both long since passed away. We built it in the 80's and used it until about 2004. so it had close to 20 years of use on it. We put ceramic abrasives in the barrel for cleaning parts and it ate through the barrel after about four years. Faster when run wet or with light oil in the barrel. (we would use recycled spindle lube from a nearby machine shop in the small parts cleaner, it kept it from rusting and it cleaned faster. About a gallon of oil to a 15 gal barrel of ceramic stones was all it took. After a few years, after we got real comfortable with it and knew it wasn't going to fall apart while no one was around it ran nearly 24 hrs a day. I was surprised that the neighbors never complained about the noise though. Even with a blanket over the items being tumbled it was still loud. Speed wise, if it helps, and figure that 3.20:1 gears turned with a 1750 rpm motor, through 2" to 7" pulleys each axle was turning about 200 rpm give or take a bit. That was plenty fast. Probably around 15mph if it were a car going down the road at that speed. We never checked the actual rpm but it worked so we didn't mess with it. One change we did made was to improve the wheels, we put a cut down trailer axle at one end, and two feet at the other with a hitch on the other so we could move it around with a trailer dolly or tractor.
Mustie - I used to jack up my old lawn tractor, strap the tanks to a rear wheel with bungie cords and run the tractor in the lowest gear. It worked great!!
@@jimgoddard5672 I'd check to see whether it's worth anything before I modified it. If people collect them, it might be better to restore it "as built." The "Tim Taylor" more power approach is fun too, though.
I have used drywall screws as a abrasive medium when cleaning old fuel tanks. The threads and tips are really sharp. I bet they would work really well with the tumbling action.
Yeah he needs to use the most aggressive media he can find, so some sharp screws like drywall or sheet metal screws would be better (maybe some star washers?), plus they would be easier to take in and out of the tank because they're uniform.
Darren Albert Thomas Mustieinsteinedison. Inventor Extraordinaire!! You my friend, are a National Treasure. Thank you for the many hours of entertainment for this Mechanically Disinclined Old Fart. You have entertained us for years and we are truly grateful!! John here, photographing the beautiful back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
A guy in my vintage bike club built a tank tumbler and it works a treat. Think portable cement mixer. He puts about a litre of water and a handful of fish tank gravel in the tank, seals it with a big wine stopper and let’s it go for 2-3 hours before changing the fluid. Tanks come out absolutely like new.
There is nothing better on a sunday than watching a mustie1 video. This is a fantastic idea. The things you come up with off the top of your head are amazing. I noticed, you said it was a little loud. If the noise got to be a problem, you could bungee cord. A water heater blanket the front of reply wood. Or maybe secure it with a bar on one side and. A boltable plate on the other. Great job, great video.
Darren, I would suggest you install a “speed control” so you can vary the speed depending on the size/weight of the gas tank you’re trying to de-rust. Possibly something as simple as an incandescent light dimmer should work as long as it’s rated high enough to handle the current of the motor. Even a Variac I believe should work. I have several so if you’d like one let me know and I’ll send one to you.
There is a speed control built into the polisher body, he currently has it set on the lowest speed, hence the change to the smaller pulley, his machine can't go any slower than it goes, but it can go faster for smaller tanks....
@@stevedoran3631 Ideally, he should set the speed control to full on or bypass it all together. Then use the outboard triac/variac to provide full control by adjusting to any speed he desires.
@@PaulMack1249 Seems like a lot of work just to get some less RPM when he already has the speed range he requires by keeping it simple...... sometimes over engineering becomes redundant and a waste of time......
I think I've told you once in the past you remind me so much of my grandfather. He too would see the need for a tool that was easier built in an afternoon than buying retail or having commissioned. Necessity truly IS the mother of invention (or creation). Love it love it, Have a great week Mustie.
Being from New England , you are the epitome of Yankee ingenuity.... great project! if you had a Variac you could control that motor down to very slow speed
I really enjoy these videos. Its different than the norm but still just as good. Love watching your thinking process and keeping us with you through it all. Great videos as always! I usually watch your videos before going to bed, not because they are boring, but because they are so relaxing and enjoyable.
Another great Sunday morning, down here in Midland tx, watching the great Mustie1, awsome video, I love how you think things through you are a great teacher!
This reminds me of a 1950's UK TV series called Billy Bean and his funny machine, the there tune includes " He made it out of sticks and stones and nuts and bolts and glue " Great stuff Mustie lad ,always tops on RUclips. Thanks for sharing and best regards from Ireland.
Many years ago the neighbor put together a paint shaker from a hardware store mounted to a shopping cart. It worked great for motorcycle tanks, often for prepping to coat the inside. Cheap, easy, simple and effective.
Durham City 🇬🇧 here the use of centrifugal force is used by many things but people are beginning to follow your example. But you are the first one I've seen using it for cleaning petrol, gasoline, tanks! Great video of you working out how to make a machine to do the job for you, while you're doing something else.
Great video. I love saving stripped parts from trashed equipment and repurposing them, like Mustie says - it's a lot of fun to create things from your saved items. Love it!!
Yeah, that is definitely a potential issue. He even mentioned that buffer changes speed when it gets warm, so it isn't exactly healthy. Also, the mount is exclusive to that buffer which makes it difficult to change out to something else, unless he can find an exact replacement.
When you're not using this contraption, you can rent it out as a quick way to irritate neighbors! This is classic junkyard wars engineering. Thanks for sharing!
Another successful entertaining video... After you got it all put together, i thought to myself, if only he had a hand truck... The kind with the support with the smaller wheels... It would take up less shop real estate ... But then i start thinking about stability... I think you nailed it.
you could allways add a control box to the handle of the red frame or to the grinder handle that uses a speed control to slow down the speed more if needed .. the speed of the motor is easy to change after the fact .. everything else seems like a great setup .. so I would not worry about the speed . thats easy to fix if its a problem .. love the idea .. awesome .. !!
Manufacturers really should bring something like that back to the market as a cab-over-engine or cab-over-front-axle pickup truck has a smaller, shorter, usable length (less cab, more bed so to speak). My second favorite truck is a Bongo truck, very similar to Crusty.
@@Hjerte_Verke we will never see another mid engine truck like the Econoline of 60s. Crash protection handlings. And they had a 250 lb weight bolted to rear to prevent nose dives
I really appreciate someone who is innovative. I’ve watched you and Diesel Creek tumble tanks attached to a vehicle wheel which makes sense but this is the cats meow. And you repurpose stuff that would normally be scrapped. Thumbs up from me.
Mustie always coming up with something interesting. His videos are never boring. Especially if he’s taking a go-kart and putting some pep in it’s step.
Well done. Your ingenuity in creating from old left over parts is awesome. If you visited my shop in NW Georgia you'd find a similar stash. And from their comments I suspect many of your followers are of like mind.
All the people saying "use a cement mixer" don't have the right mindset. Mustie made a contraption that works, is customizable and was made using things he already had laying around. Absolutely amazing. Oh and an addition that might be useful is a form of variable power supply so that you have more control over the speed since it's still a little on the fast side.
Going around the block to get next door is a trait that can be dealt with unless you have attention deficit disorder and you are likely to be distracted by any number of flying bugs on your longer route.
I really enjoy how you are able to create usefull things out of scrap. I'm impressed with that creativity and thinking out of the box. Keep up the good work.
I was thinking of a washing machine innards to agitate and a cement mixer to tilt or maybe an exercise bike for the back and forth tilting. But Mystie knows best!
Somewhere in the Far East, after watching Darren’s video, a flock of machine engineers are busy creating a design to modify their line of cement mixers: getting rid of the bowl to allow you to clamp on a tank. Should sell in the millions. Soon to be available at Harbor Freight (and Princess Auto here in Canada 🇨🇦)😊
Happy Sunday love too watch the channel for more incredible things u can create a bring everything back to life and working again the scientists at work
Fun video, I usually listen and learn, today I was voicing suggestions.... lose the plywood, expanded metal with frame gets you many attachment points. Tarp straps are an eventual wreck, tie down straps for the win. The rotor counterweights for stability likely help just in weight to calm the thing down but a stabilizing movable third leg added to the bottom framework that you could slide in and out may be a good addition or even replace the counterweights. My mind was also running wild with how to add a second motion but came up with bupkiss. Thanks for an entertaining morning.
Another brilliant video Darrin Rusty fuel tanks - electrolysis - I bet you already have everything needed to hand (battery charger, some scrap metal and some soda crystals) Works wonders - and keeps rust from forming afterwards... Worth trying after you have put it on that machine which should be fine at getting the crusty lumps out first
Hey Darren, interesting (kinda Rube Goldbergish..) tool. Definable short ratchet straps.. bungees will stretch .. messy .. add water or "he" detergent and water, steel shot will be kinder ( but admittedly slower) to the tank.. I haven't Finnish the video, but attaching the polisher to the gen set plug in panel will ļook ool. Thanks for ll your work.. You're basically my first go to on RUclips

McMustie1
If you hook up power to the cart you can plug the polisher to that with a circuit breaker
It’s not the contraption he’s making its the ingenuity and imagination. It’s fun to watch. Nice job mustie
"The Mustie Rusty Tank Cleaner" , love it! 😎
Excellent.
Two words: The Stash. Thanks for all the mad inventions, Mustie.
Cement mixer has the tilt built in and perfect speed just strap the tank to the front of the bowl
That's exactly what I use and was going to suggest
I used a Harbor freight china cement mixer also ..put tank in blankets in drum to protect it .
Gotta tape jackets blanket really good to keep tank in it .
Daughter was into collecting and painting old railroad spikes. Just throw them in my mixer with sand. Noisy as hell but works.
That's what I used at my job shop to tumble parts in. Gave $15.00 for it at a yard sale.
Love it for myself, but Mustie1 doesn't spend money if he can do it himself. And I didn't think it was going to work. He impressed me.
Yeah I agree with some others who said that those of you saying "just use a cement mixer" are missing the whole point of - well, of everything Mustie does. Great work Darrin and a fun contraption!

🎯
Old gas tanks may have a lead residue. You should use a fluid to collect the dust.
Then dispose of it properly.
The whole point, as he stated at the beginning, was too clean gas tanks. The build was only to accomplish that overarching goal.
@@murphymmc Yes. but Mustie wishes to entertain and educate, not solve the technological and engineering problems of our age.
You created a solution for a problem that never existed. 😊
Ingenious Mustie. I love your use of things at hand. Thanks again.

Thanks Mr. Mustie! Always makes Sunday morning a little better to see what you're working on this week!
You might use a dial that regulates the power into the grinder to slow the grinder down more mustie
I can build this, but I’ll need to go over to Mustie’s to look through his stash for the parts I need…lol
Oh man you see it. Too.... pure nirvana in all that junk and clutter.....EXCESS IS FIRST DOIRCE OF SUPPLY
Using what you have before going to the store is my favorite way of building stuff. It is such a good mind exercise!
That will work. Sure as hell beats strapping it to the wheel of the truck. Good job.
LOL you got me thinking: bolt it to the right back wheel of a pickup and jack the rear end off the ground hahahahah
@muskokamike127 mustie has done it that way in a couple of his videos
He’s done it using his lawn tractor and his Toyota truck a few times each. 😂 this man’s always thinking like a mad scientist…!😂😂

I was delighted to see the return of the mini boat. Can't wait to see whether it gets put back to stock trim or whether it gets a bit more power.
You know it's getting more power 💪💪😂😂

as sharp as they are, sometimes he needs the weight of the big nuts and bolts to KNOCK the chunks off the inside of the tanks.

I love builds like this, gets my mind flowing with ideas on how to problem solve
Darren, I would suggest you install a “speed control” so you can vary the speed depending on the size/weight of the gas tank you’re trying to de-rust. Possibly something as simple as an incandescent light dimmer should work as long as it’s rated high enough to handle the current of the motor. Even a Variac I believe should work.

There is a speed control built into the polisher body, he currently has it set on the lowest speed, hence the change to the smaller pulley, his machine can't go any slower than it goes, but it can go faster for smaller tanks....
the speed controller in the grinder is exactly that, a triac dimmer, but if he wants to even half the speed, he can put a diode in series
Best video in years !!
@@stevedoran3631 Ideally, he should set the speed control to full on or bypass it all together. Then use the outboard triac/variac to provide full control by adjusting to any speed he desires.

Good idea = just wondering if it’s going to be too heavy and burn out the motor on the buffers
Yeah, that is definitely a potential issue. He even mentioned that buffer changes speed when it gets warm, so it isn't exactly healthy. Also, the mount is exclusive to that buffer which makes it difficult to change out to something else, unless he can find an exact replacement.

Right when I believed your content couldn’t get better, you take it higher.
Interesting and RARE homemade tool build. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎
you could allways add a control box to the handle of the red frame or to the grinder handle that uses a speed control to slow down the speed more if needed .. the speed of the motor is easy to change after the fact .. everything else seems like a great setup .. so I would not worry about the speed . thats easy to fix if its a problem .. love the idea .. awesome .. !!
The 65 econoline is such a cool vehicle.
It is…unfortunately it’s just been sitting on his lift for the last two years
I agree we don't see them here in Australia. I think I saw one at a Car Show once obviously it was imported at sometime.
Yeah his double cab too but that thing seemed to vanish into. The. Twilight zone
Manufacturers really should bring something like that back to the market as a cab-over-engine or cab-over-front-axle pickup truck has a smaller, shorter, usable length (less cab, more bed so to speak). My second favorite truck is a Bongo truck, very similar to Crusty.

Cement mixer.
Yep, just like Ed 😁
There’s no way that a magnificent contraption like this would be as easy to make without a superbly organised horde 👍🏼👍🏼

Oh and an addition that might be useful is a form of variable power supply so that you have more control over the speed since it's still a little on the fast side.
Going around the block to get next door is a trait that can be dealt with unless you have attention deficit disorder and you are likely to be distracted by any number of flying bugs on your longer route.
I was hoping he would use an old 4 hp Briggs and a motorcycle gear box.
Great idea thanks fof showing us. Another use for it would be mixing tins of paint.
A concrete mixer is much better and easier to use. Plus great for mixing concrete and mortar too.
Weld a bar between your I bolts and you get adjustable mounting points. Thanks for the fun vid.
Wonderful over-engineered martini shaker - nice work sir 👌🙏
Great idea, but it still needs to be much slower. Again, I love the way you take junk and make a great little addition to the shop.
I really enjoy how you are able to create usefull things out of scrap.
I'm impressed with that creativity and thinking out of the box.
Keep up the good work.
This is why it pays to be a junk horder for cool projects like this great work Darren 👍❤
At first I was thinking Mustie1's Wheel of Death, but you pulled it off. Nice work - it would even make a great paint mixer.
I was thinking of a washing machine innards to agitate and a cement mixer to tilt or maybe an exercise bike for the back and forth tilting. But Mystie knows best!
Somewhere in the Far East, after watching Darren’s video, a flock of machine engineers are busy creating a design to modify their line of cement mixers: getting rid of the bowl to allow you to clamp on a tank. Should sell in the millions. Soon to be available at Harbor Freight (and Princess Auto here in Canada 🇨🇦)😊
Mustie, you do the best stuff. Looking forward to seeing this new gadgy clean up some sludgy tanks on future projects.
great idea mustie, also if you strap a drum to it with gravel inside you got a tumbler for cleaning parts with
Darren has everything in his stash 😄 good job! 👍 He’s like the mad scientist of automotive 😂
You are one innovative guy Mustie !! Nice job !!
Happy Sunday love too watch the channel for more incredible things u can create a bring everything back to life and working again the scientists at work
Awesome invention! That thing will also work great for spray painting things...
*Darren.. OUTSTANDING. 🙂 Another idea for use, is if you are spray painting something..🙂.*
Watching your ingenuity and creativeness is captivating! Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us!
Fun video, I usually listen and learn, today I was voicing suggestions.... lose the plywood, expanded metal with frame gets you many attachment points. Tarp straps are an eventual wreck, tie down straps for the win. The rotor counterweights for stability likely help just in weight to calm the thing down but a stabilizing movable third leg added to the bottom framework that you could slide in and out may be a good addition or even replace the counterweights. My mind was also running wild with how to add a second motion but came up with bupkiss. Thanks for an entertaining morning.
Wow Mustie is one smart dude i really like that gas tank tumbler .
Paint the board red and letter it up with “Mustie 5000 Tumblegas”. Very cool setup.
He's like a mad scientist!
Another brilliant video Darrin
Rusty fuel tanks - electrolysis - I bet you already have everything needed to hand
(battery charger, some scrap metal and some soda crystals)
Works wonders - and keeps rust from forming afterwards...
Worth trying after you have put it on that machine which should be fine at getting the crusty lumps out first
LOOLLLLL, Man that's some contraption!
Flipping the tank for the outer face seems the best way to get to the other side.
The end result looks pretty good
Hey Darren, interesting (kinda Rube Goldbergish..) tool. Definable short ratchet straps.. bungees will stretch .. messy .. add water or "he" detergent and water, steel shot will be kinder ( but admittedly slower) to the tank..
I haven't Finnish the video, but attaching the polisher to the gen set plug in panel will ļook ool.
Thanks for ll your work.. You're basically my first go to on RUclips
We need to bring back Junkyard wars. Maybe host it in Mustie's shop.
This is the stuff from you that fascinates me. Love it!!
Wow, you got the mechanic in your brain!
This is awesome and exactly what I've enjoyed doing for many years. So much fun. Thank you
Nothin better than coming up with your own solutions to take care of shop needs.
