I purchased some used fuel lines for my EFI conversion and they have a lot of corrosion on the metal connections. Is there a simple way to get this off and make them shiny?
I do not want to go to the expense of bead blasting, and a wire wheel does not do the job, what about phosphoric or muradic acid? Any suggestions? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

As a follow up. I did use Muratic acid to clean the connections and it cleaned the hell out of them. They came out as good as new. The metal is is great shape, it just simply had 20 years of corrosion on top of them, kind of like patina. I inspected all the lines and all but one is in great shape. Wish I had done before and after pics.
The only downside to using Muratic acid is that it takes once clean you need to put a sealer back on the parts or they will begin rusting again. Thanks for the suggestions and cautions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
