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) |

Hear is a little follow up on my Muratic acid for cleaning of parts. The cleaning worked great, BUT I ran a fan for ventilation while I was using the acid on my workbench because the funes are not good. The fan blew the fumes across my work bench to an open window, I looked today and every tool hanging on the wall is rusted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)
The acid never touched the tools but the fumes alone were enough to rust my tools. Would not have thought of that. If you use this method, take it outside. I will take off the protective coating on anything it touches, tools, bolts ect. |
