Electrolysis For a Rusty Gas Tank -How to Process
zhlédnutí 451Před 21 dnem
Remove rust from the inside of a motorcycle gas tank using electrolysis . Using this technique is an excellent option for safely extracting rust without harming the underlying metal surface of the tank . It may be an incorrect use of terms to say electrolysis removes rust, as many argue the process changes the state of the rust to some type of iron oxide that is easily removed and thats why the...

WoW what is that frame from.....outer space??? and what about the dot on the tire? Where does that go?
@will7its Well sir if the frame you're talking about is the one at the end of the video , it's nothing special, it's just a bone stock 2005 Yamaha YZ250. Now, regarding the tire dot .It's typically the lightest part of the tire, and most people line them up with the valve stem .But it's not always the case as some tires may have two different colored dots that mean different things according to the individual manufacturers. But don't get too caught up in that game the margins are so thin,just properly balance the tire after the tire is on and you'll be good to go . Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. Cheers 🍻
@@TRyanLearnBikes The frame looks awesome Idk. And thanks, thats what I figured. I got it backwards.....🤣
@will7its Thanks man , much appreciated. Good luck ahead and ride safe. Cheers 👍
@@TRyanLearnBikes Cheers....
I did a similar thing to both my gt750 & and dt175 & I used distilled water to get the same effect,good video mate🤟
Thanks very much for the great comment .I'm curious ,did you still add some sort of soda or acid to the distilled water to make it a good electrolyte ?
@@TRyanLearnBikes on the gt750 I used evaporust & left it in my dining room next to the radiator,came out like new,swooshed some distilled water around it & that stopped the flash rusting,on the dt I had to take a more aggressive approach & I used something called de-ox c by built & hammer,both products are good with paintwork,back to the dt ,the tank itself was in good condition but the inside was very rusty,& it had this black stuff that was incredibly difficult to remove,so it took 3 treatments with the de-ox c.& took me a few weeks to finally get rid of the rust,but now it’s really good & still has its original lining,I’m not a fan of lining tanks because the ethanol will eventually break down the lining,there’s a johnnys vintage cycles video on his guy removing the lining,& trust me it’s horrifying to remove
@@TRyanLearnBikes I used the distilled water after the treatment to stop the flash rust returning.
@bluehazeboy Ah ..ok I understand 👍. Yes I'm very cautious about using any sort of liner products. They eventually fail and then impossible to remove .I like your idea of using distilled water for flash rust avoidance .Thanks for the excellent information 👌 Cheers good sir 👍

@@Svendus Good guess ,was it the expansion chambers that gave it away?
@@TRyanLearnBikes impressive that it had more than double effect than same size 4stroke It is powered by a twin-carburetted reed valve inducted, liquid-cooled, 347cc parallel-twin two-stroke engine, with a bore and stroke of 64mm x 54mm. It was the first RD series from Yamaha to receive the 'YPVS' Yamaha Power Valve System. A different version of this motor with no YPVS was also used in the Yamaha Banshee 350 ATV, which was produced for some markets until 2012. It is also raced extensively in Vintage racing leagues, as well as its own racing leagues, often dubbed "RZ cups" in Europe and Canada.
@@Svendus Great info,you know your stuff. They were such cool bikes .That RZ cup ws a wild series to watch .They ate up a lot of machines ,thats why there are so few in decent condition around today . Thanks for the excellent comment .Cheers

I’ve done nearly 10 oil changes on my drz since i got it new and it turns out i’ve put my crush washers on upside down every time. Oops.
@kurtsvensson4362 You're not alone Kurt .I did the same thing until I actually read the manual. So I'm guessing it really doesn't matter that much ,I mean some guys don't even replace them . Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. Cheers buddy 🍺

I couldn't guess this one. I thought RZ350, but in the US, it came I Kenny Robert's a yellow and red and white. Never saw a blue.
@KrakensGarageandAdventures Yes I think there may have been some import restrictions in the late 80s that didn't hit Canada and we ended up with this Gauloise blue color bike in 89 I think they were a French cigarette company .
Nice over view of the original clip man I do love your work it is so polished. Keep well and stay safe.
Hi R.K. thank you very much man. I'm giving the youtube shorts thing a try just for fun . They are easy to make by just stripping out key points from original long form videos . Thanks for your continued support .Cheers my friend .🍺
No, on the traveling venturi… bc there’s a intake or exhaust valve closed / cylinder! Wouldn’t even happen on a 2 cycle with reed valves! NO,
Ya I was kind of thinking that myself but then someone mentioned rotary valves on a two stroke ,so I don't know .What do think about that scinerio ?

@Gary-dd9mt My pleasure, man. I hope you solved the issue and your bike runs well now .Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. Cheers 🍻
Great video. Thanks! One question: What's the process for removing the diesel once I want to fill it with gas?
Hi Ricardo ,thanks very much .I was able to remove the diesel by rinsing out the tank a few times with a little bit of regular gasoline .If I was to do this rust removal process again I would use a little bit of two stroke oil to stop it from flash rusting . That way it would mix better with fuel and be fine if it wasn't totally removed as it would be ok to run through the engine .The bike make smoke a bit for a short time but not for long . Hope that helps . Good luck ahead with your tank .Thanks again for watching and for taking the time to comment .Cheers 🍺
@@TRyanLearnBikes Thanks for this update! Yeah, I really like the 2-stroke oil idea! I will go with that. I'm starting this project tomorrow/Saturday on a 1990 FZR1000 I just bought 🙂 Thanks, again.
@@TherapyWithRicardo You're very welcome .A 1990 FZR 1000 is a really cool bike ,what a lovely bike to choose for a project machine . There is another option you may want to consider for tank rust removal .I tried using electrolysis for the first time last month and was very surprised at how well it actually worked . If you had a chance and were interested to have a look at how it played out its one of my latest videos called "Electrify your rusty gas tank-shocking results ". You may find it to be an intersting option to try .Either way good luck ahead with your resto project .Cheers my friend 🍺
@@TRyanLearnBikes A good buddy of mine also recommended the electrolysis idea. Yes, I will absolutely watch your video on this. Thanks, again!
I love this one the most. I don't care what YT thinks, this is the greatest video ever made.
@KensWorldRestorations Hey thanks Ken I'm really glad you enjoyed it. This one was a really fun one to put together and turned out to be one of my all time favorites in the end. It was a little disappointing it didn't perform better but it really doesn't matter. I'm only making videos for fun anyway .Thanks again, my friend. Cheers 🍻
My favorite method. The bubbles are hydrogen gas. Use caution.
@DangerousSportsForSeniors Yes .for sure..I was very surprised how well it worked. Definitely need to be aware of hydrogen gas building up . I do mention to be cautious of that in the long form version of the video .
I’m on that last little bit, it is not easy, with the tires I have
@BruceKyle-xy8wq I understand 100% man , some tires can be very difficult depending on size and stiffness of the rubber. Take your time and really pay attention to the drop center and use spray lube ..good luck buddy..you've got this 👍
@@TRyanLearnBikes I finally got it took me 6 hours in total to do it, but it’s also my first time
@BruceKyle-xy8wq Thats great 👍. Good to hear. The first one is the hardest but now you have experience, they'll only get easier from here on .Congratulations
Been there, done that. Bought the 👕. One time back in the 80's when I was young & stupid,living at home with mom & dad I had to fix a flat on the rear tire of my street bike. Long story short I did'nt have the bead of the tire down in the drop center of the rim. I pried on it so hard I broke the bead at ruined the tire.☹Note to self: never do that again. As they say,the most expensive mistakes are the ones you don't learn from. When inflating the tube,just inflate it about half way,then deflate & inflate fully. This allows the tube to take shape inside the tire & avoid pinching.
@robertbarth1362 Wise words man .Experience is the best teacher for sure .Thanks for taking the time to share this great story .Cheers 🍻
Another awesome video...wasn't sure where you were located until you said "Bobby Clarke's smile" and I knew right away!
@KensWorldRestorations Ha ha ...thanks very much, Ken .The Bobby Clarke reference didn't land as well as I thought it might So it was great to hear you picked up on it .Yes I'm a hockey guy here Southern Ontario .Guessing you're a hockey man as well . Cheers mate 👍
@@TRyanLearnBikes Ha!! Very funny - I hear people say "I remember when Tim Horton's was a Canadian company". I say "I remember watching Tim Horton play hockey". Hockey guy here too - grew up in Montreal used to sneak into the Lachine Arena as a kid and watch the Habs practice when Dryden, Lafleur, Gainey, Shutt and the whole gang of the 70's still practiced there. Great times.
@KensWorldRestorations Oh man that's fantastic. You got to watch some of the true old school legends on their home turf..Those Habs were the best 👌. And Tim Horton too..priceless
I had a massive head gasket leak on a bike because the previous owner replaced a similar gasket washers with regular washers.....
Thats a perfect real world example of the scinerio in this video .Thanks for sharing that one ,much appreciated .Cheers 🍺
Of course using OEM parts is the best choice for any motorcycle, but sometimes it's quite hard to find even aftermarket parts. For example with my old carbureted klx250 supermoto I use sealings, bearings, repair kits and other things from aftermarket brands like Allballs, DRC, Athena and so on. And moreover sometimes I even have to order things from China¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You make a good point sometimes your hand is forced to go elsewhere due to availability and vintage . Thanks for taking the time to comment .Cheers 🍺
@@TRyanLearnBikes I've remembered it was exactly like with your rz350 caliper rebuild. I wish motorcycle makers were making parts for their old models despite being discontinued.
@@wonniethepoop7856 Wow ..thats pretty cool that you watched and remembered that particular caliper rebuild video . Yes it can be a little frustrating when it comes to finding parts for our older bikes as you know all too well with your KLX250 .Thanks for watching and you continued support.Cheers to you good sir 🍺
i try to use oem unless there isnt anything special but i dont get some cheap bolt in the spot
Its definatley a balancing act between availability,cost and quality .
Clean the tank, replace the electrolyte to clean one and instead of sealer, replace steel rod with zinc rod and reverse polarity to electro plate tank with zinc.
Ok now that is a brilliant idea .I am definitely going to investigate that process .Thanks for that one man .Cheers to you good sir 🍺
Don't do this inside, the bubbles are oxyhydrogen gas (from water) and chlorine gas (from salt). This stuff will turn your house into a gazebo and you into a meatball. Be safe out there!
Good call .I do mention that in the long form video .
Vinegar and a few days makes them like new
Acids eat metal unless you do chemical magic and deactivate the acidity with soda. Electrolysis attacks the rust first and foremost, not taking clean metal out in the beginning. Also leaves tank much cleaner afterwards, while acids tend to leave black oxide on the steel that needs to be brushed off and smells rather nasty. I do find uses for both but gas tank is made for electrolysis.
It does remove rust as well as tank
Can you elaborate . I was told the process ends when the rust is no longer present .
@@TRyanLearnBikes That has not been my exp. you may be doing a different process. if left on it will continue to dissolve and etch the fresh metal away and keep depositing on the sacrificial nail. or you could reverse the process and use a fresh steel to impregnate the fuel tank. But you may be doing something different than I am aware of. I thought the principals of electrolysis were pretty much standard across the board and ions will flow from cathode to anode as long as an electric field is present. And by extension you can reverse and deposit new metal on the surface of freshly etched metal.
@netx421 OK ..well sir I respect your opinion and assume you have a deeper understanding than me .I'm only going by the rudimentary online research that I looked at before giving this method a try .So now I need to dig a little deeper. It will make a great follow up video .Thanks very much for raising the issue .I genuinely appreciate your input and welcome the opportunity to learn something new and also to set the record straight in a follow up video .Cheers to you good sir. 🍻
I agree 100 percent about OEM parts. Even down to the crush washers. Great video
@craighanesworth Thanks Craig.Yes there's no substitute for the correct parts .
That's so bad ass! I learned something today! Besides not standing on dead trees in the woods again after getting stung 8 times! 😂
@allenstayduhar7139 Well ...they say knowledge is power .whether avoiding stings or cleaning fuel tanks .
What is safety wire, is tension wire to prevent an over torque of the bolt?
@@benl4707 Safety wire is used to keep a bolt in position after being correctly torqued.
There's a fine line between using and not using OEM parts and I dont often use them, except in mission critical areas. Sometimes it's a case of buy once, cry once. As for the manual, I have one for every bike.
@gonegliding2966 Well said , You've stated the case perfectly 👌. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. Cheers 🍻
I always always go with OEM parts. Why? Because they work perfectly.
@KrakensGarageandAdventures I agree 100%..It just makes sense..

@SpyderWayne Ya its a good acronym to remember for sure .
Hahaha!! love your videos man. I got burned for $400 for the "professional" services of paint & rust removal on a tank. Never again. My subsequent tank repairs have been similar to yours but I've found ceramic stone polishing material (looks like rice) and a few hours tumbling does a great job. At the end, I've sprayed a bit of WD40 in the tank (after the baking soda) and it's great because it absorbs the water and leaves a light, oily residue that can be used for long term storage. Swish a little solvent around and it's ready for gas. Keep up the great content!!
@KensWorldRestorations Hey thanks very much. I appreciate your support. Yikes 400 bucks is a steep figure to swallow especially if the job was sub par .I like your process .It sounds like it would have been very effective. Thanks again for watching and for taking the time to comment. Cheers 👍
@@TRyanLearnBikes It was a great job actually - just really expensive. Same as the calipers I sent out first round and figuring out how to do it myself afterwards. These days I just focus on buying the right tools rather than throw money away on shop labour.
@KensWorldRestorations Thats a great approach, as long as you have the right tools you'll usually have a good shot at success. Just had a look at your channel. Your videos are great 👍. I can learn a lot from what you're doing .So I had to sub ...looking forward to future vids .
@@TRyanLearnBikes Thanks! The feeling is mutual my friend.
Unnecessary as Long as Citric Acid is cheap, available and more thorough. And after derusting it properly dont forget to Seal the inside of the Tank so it will never Rust again.
What is a good sealant for tanks?
@@sjoerd_maasland581 use tank sealer
@sjoerd_maasland581 After a quick search (that you also could have done, by the way), I found that Epoxy putty for the exterior or POR15 for the inside of the tank will seal it.
@@PaulRudd1941 No, epoxy putty is used when sealing off small holes or to make patches, not as a coating. Also I have seen stuff like that leak over time. I'm asking here because someone might have used some type of coating on tanks which was nice to use. Of course I can search on google but that doesn't add someone else's experience with that stuff into account.
@@sjoerd_maasland581 If there is leaks then use putty from outside and sealant, but if you want to prevent it from rusting again, flush it real good, put in clean solution, put in peace of zinc like with the steel rod and reverse polarity. Now you have zinc electroplated tank again.
Nicely done mate one thing to note using tubes is as you insertt your lever refitting the tyre make sure you only use the tip of the lever or you can pinch the tube and start all over .
@Yoda-em5mt Thank you very much .Yes you make a very valid point that only the tip of the lever is required or risk of pinches is increased. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. Cheers 🍻
