Going to do it again with two tanks that I have that are in that same condition. Then wright up how we get it done again. Ken bent up a piece of 1/8"X 1"X 18" flat. Screwed one end to a piece of plywood to support the steel flat so it wouldn't come in contact with the tank. Then attached a 12V 30 Amp battery charger. With the neg to the tank, and posi to the steel flat. Did that for about 12 hours. Had to clean the rust build up on flat off every few hours. Let me know if you want photos privately. Bob Dunahugh
I will be interested in how this works out. The theory, and my experience, with electrolytic rust removal is that it is pretty much a "line of sight" process. The electrode can only clean what it can "see". I am curious as to how the tank section "behind" the baffles get derusted. Is it truly a "line of sight process" or just one where the electrode can clean what it can "illuminate" in the interior.
