electronic rust protection systems - thoughts ? Options

[dale73914]

Hey All,

I'm thinking of fitting one of these systems to my teener.

We have a couple of major brands selling in Australia, and a they are used extensively in the mining sector ( coal mines in particular ) ,in government and also by alot of our surf lifesaving associations.

http://www.couplertec.com/ and http://www.erps.com.au/ are the two mains ones.

I'm thinking of the couplertec system.

I'm also going to look into lanolin or fishoiling as well as a secordary protective system.

i reckon the more i throw at it the better the long term prognosis for keeping the car from deteriorating more, or at least slowing it right down

Has anyone here had a system of this type fitted to slow down the inevitable rot ??

If so, what has been your experience ?


I know these systems work, and work well on a new vehicle. I am trying to gauge their effectiveness on an older vehicle like ours.



Cheers

Dale

I don't know anything about that specific system, but a number of years ago we had people advertising a way to plug in a 9V battery that was supposed to prevent rust electrolytically. It didn't work.

A nice piece of zinc can work, but for it to do so the whole thing has to be immersed in water all the time. Not exactly something you want for your car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
