    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.

Suggestions for Ethanol proof Tank Sealent...

Filter is in the petrol tap. More of a screen than filter though, small rust particles get though.

Chain doesn't work to remove rust. You need something finer to scrub the metal (I use aquarium rocks) along with some derusting sauce. A proper derusting takes about a week to perform.

Ok. So i might be being a bit premature (again)

Is there a recommended inline filter that won't restrict flow?

Thank you you advance.

Folks on here have recommended filters used for a lawn mowers... as they also operate under low pressure.
 
Pop down to Asda and buy 2 or 3 gallons of their cheapest vinegar - comes in small bottles so you have to buy a lot of them (tell the checkout girl you're a recovering alkie and it tastes great mixed with lemon....). I described the process in an earlier post - it'll shift your rust.
 
Thanks all. Ill try a lawn mower filter... And get down to ASDA's and get loaded up...

Love & hugs to you guys.

Erm... Sorry HH. Where is the vinegar post?
I do seem to be able to find it...

Phosphoric acid is the best thing to use to clean rust from a tank. It only eats the rust, not sound metal. It is sold as concrete etcher at home improvement stores and a product called Ospho is sold at most paint stores. You dilute the acid. An online search will tell you how much to dilute it. If you refill the tank right away rust won't start again. The ethanol in fuel probably lets it happen though. Another vote for Por-15. I did my tank 6 or 7 years ago and it still looks like the day I did it.
