A detailed video showing the rust removal inside a salvaged fuel tank of a 99 Maruti Zen using electrolysis followed by a coat of paint. Thanks for watching! :)
This was my first visit to an automobile scrapyard Jishnu and I was completely taken aback when I saw the stuff there! So many cars and parts, but not very organised.
What a DIY and what superb results. Mayapuri vehicle scrap market in Delhi is probably the biggest in North India where such parts can be sourced from.
@@GaneshBalan Just out of curiosity, what made you choose the laborious & time consuming electrolysis method for rust removal when acid dip is most usually used for the process? The result has been darn surprisingly good, much exceeding expectations I had through the course of the video.
@desiborat Believe it or not, when we got the fuel tank from the salvage shop and gave it to a local service centre for the replacement, he did an acid wash using caustic soda. But it didn’t help much as I realised during the ownership. That’s when I decided to take the matter into my own hands and do something about it. I was facing 2 problems with the car after the fuel tank was swapped: 1. Petrol coming out of the charcoal canister - this was because of a choked metal pipe in the tank. Inserted a thin bent rod into the pipe to clear the block and this was sorted. 2. Fuel coming at the carburettor was orangish hinting at rust. And the fuel filter was almost always orangish in color. Read up on the internet this is also one of the methods to remove rust and decided to try it out. Pleasantly happy with the results.
What was the current set ? I tried doing it at home with a 12V supply however it didn't work. am going to do the same at a Battery charger setup. The current setting will help me in getting the results correct.
👍🏻
Love your work from Nagaland...
Thank you so much Senpha! Appreciate it brother. 🥰
Its always make an adrenaline rush when we make a visit on a automobile scrapyard.also the application of DIY which we studied during school days.

Yeah man, have heard about Mayapuri market in Delhi. Probably the biggest in the country I reckon. At Chennai, it is in Pudupet.

@@GaneshBalan Results are definitely noteworthy and the tank should last quite a while now. Cheers & stay awesome!
