    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Great Idea...Until the wife found out!!

So I'm cleaning my tank out because it sat half full of gas for 12 years (never smelled anything so awful in my life).Needless to say there's a lot of rust. No holes though. I didn't feel like sitting there and shaking the tank for ever and ever with stuff inside, so here's what I did. First I rinsed the tank out to get whatever big flakes would come out. Then I dried it out. I put BBs, aquarium rocks and some nuts and bolts inside the tank and then put the cap back on. I taped over the petcock hole real good. Then I wrapped the tank in two old blankets. I put the tank inside of our dryer, surrounded by pillows and other blankets. I made sure the tank was pretty centered in there. Then just hit the start button and let it spin for about 15 minutes. All was good until the wife came home. I won't go into detail there but man oh man did that do the job.
 
nice work!!!!

im gonna keep that one in the back pocket for future use
 
electroylisis works like a charm too.. and doesn't require the use of a dryer!
 
At this point in time, I believe his wife has him tied up in the bath tub and is trying to dissolve HIM by electrolysis. :-)

That is FANTASTIC! Cant wait to tell my wife. Think I'll tell her I'm thinking about doing it with the tank I just bought to see her reaction. What a hoot!
 
This reminds me of the time my wife caught me baking freshly painted parts in the oven. Stunk up the whole house but seemed like a good idea at the time. Nothing like a baked on finish.

I've done engine parts in the dishwasher... it too works great, just don't get caught, LIKE I DID!! :shock: [-o< \\:D/
 
I am the wife of saddlewarmer and if he did that stuff I wouldn't see the problem in any of it. The dryer was protected by the pillows and blankets. The oven bit, if the painted parts were on an old cookie sheet I wouldn't care, and we don't have a dishwasher. Can't put parts in something you don't have. I don't see the problem with anything here.

If you put your gas tank in the dryer to shake the rust out of it..... you just might be a redneck! :lol:

For Sale Or Trade....

but you better make one H$LL of an offer!!!!!!!!!
 
this sounds way to redneck.....a word of warning ...Heat and gas fumes. Had a neighbor do something similar. Blew the windows out of houses a block away, when it went off. Didn't kill him but 6 month in a burn ward couldn't be to much fun
