The photo shows how thick the washing soda crust gets

Started cleaning out the gas tank. I did this on 7 of 9 and it worked good.

I just added a second anode in the other hole. I have it outside running over night.

The tank behind the one I am cleaning is the one from the car. There is a large dent in it.




What a good idea. I've never seen another charger like that, except mine. I bought it new in 1986. I was really surprised, then again mine has lasted all these years there had to be more somewhere

We have that same one too from about the same time (before I was born haha). The thing is a tank-way better than all the newer one's I've used for start boosting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Cool trick, I'm going to have to try that with my tractor gas tank which is super rusty inside.
