The time has come to try and fix this rusty fuel tank on our 1986 Range Rover!
Will we ever complete this project? 😂

This is why I love watching Edd. He comes up with some fantastic modifications to handle complex issues like using a tube and heat-shrink wrap to modify a vacuum. He also shows the various methods for rust which takes out trial and error for us as the home mechanics that may have a tighter budget.

Since "Wheeler Dealers" - a great series by the way - Ed China has gone from strength to strength. Why are his tutorials so magnetically watchable? For someone who has barely done more than change a faulty sparkplug it is hard to say. His patience and attention to detail must be legendary, and of course his careful explanation of everything he does is nothing less than edifying!

Well people have no choice if they want to see Edd they have to watch his youtube channel, where as WD is constantly shown on TV and they don't have full episodes on their youtube so of course people don't bother to subscribe there. Also most of the clips on the WD youtube are old shows with Edd anyway, so whats your logic here? Edd is somehow good on his own channel but bad on WD? What exactly do you think is settled? You weirdo's need to let this obsession with WD go. It was Edd's choice to leave the show.

I know I'm late to the party but; AC (alternating current will kill you, DC will make you hurt yourself. Thomas Edison wanted to use DC for this reason but transformers could not be used. He used the fact George Westinghouse's AC was used for the electric chair in executions as his argument for DC. I worked for over 36 yr. at a power plant and 125v DC was used tor main switch control and was itself switched with open knife switches that I accidentally touched many times, still here.

Quite a few comments about buying a new tank... my opinion: The cost of the products aren't relevant, that's purely for an investigation into what works best, you wouldn't buy all those products yourself. Also, not everyone can spare the cost of a new tank, and to be fair the value of the vehicle as a whole, for what it's going to be used for, a resto will spiral out of control if you just simply replace everything on it. Plus it's about showing what is possible if you're prepared to put a little work in to save something. We are a throwaway society now, sometimes fixing up stuff is fun eh?

Flip it round a few times, does it in a couple of hours easy. Electrolyses is also a good way to go, literally convert the rust and draw it onto a piece of sacrificial steel. You'd need a power source that is reliable though, which can be expensive.

I can only recommend filling the tank with screws or stones at the beginning .. (approx. 1/3 of the volume ..) and then clamping the tank on a concrete mixer for some time. preferably dry so that you can vacuum out afterwards. I did that to my motocycle tank and it worked good. a chemical treatment afterwards would be good as well

An easy electricity analogy is to think of current as being like mass and voltage to be like speed. If you get hit by a flea doing 70mph it might sting a little but no harm done. If you get hit by a 46 tonne HGV at 5 mph you will really know about it.

Your electric shock analogy was one of the best I've ever seen, and I only have 45 years experience in the electrical industry. Rust treatment was also interesting. Back in the 70's we had galvanised steel dustbins and the lid on ours was rusty. My Dad treated three area's of rust. One with Hammerite paint, one with Jenolite and one with Kurust. 15 years later the only patch that hadn't gone rusty was the one treated with Hammerite. Another 5* video Edd.

I had a rusty tank on my motorcycle. My good friend used electrolysis to fix it. Basically, sunk the entire tank in water, attached a power source to the tank and a piece of rebar, and left it for several days. The rust in the tank was replaced with good metal and the rust went to the rebar. Worked inside and out. I just coated the interior, touched up the exterior, and it's been great ever since.

The tank I restored in a 1969 Ford F-250 had many pieces of garden hose in it and about a billion pin holes when done but after using a two part tank sealer along with many other budget repairs I was able to not only get it running and driving but passed a strick state inspection which made my landlady cry as it had sat for 30 years since her husband died. Anyways the tank sealer was made by Eastwood and I highly recommend it. Edit: My hobby is "restoring" old tools and Evaporust seemed like magic the first time I used it. The key is to degrease whatever you dip first as grease and wax will block it. I still think it's magic too and it's worth every penny especially if you filter it and reuse it.
