I just opened one of my
water tanks for the first time and saw that I have a bunch of rust around the seams.
I'm inclined to take an
electric power washer to the inside and try to blast that rust off, along with anything else on the sides of the
tanks while they are open.
That leads to two questions. First, would it be a bad idea to
power wash the tanks & rust (using
water only, no chemicals), and second, how do I keep the rust from coming back? There is also rust along the bottom seams on the outside, so I'd like to stop it before it rusts through.
Being half way through replacing a rusted out galvanized metal
diesel tank, I'm now on a war against rust and leaking tankage.
Thanks,
Dave.
