[QUOTE="Bug, post: 161852, member: 3940"] Ok, it's been a week and a half, and we've had a warmish day or two. Cleaning the radiator has definitely had a positive effect on my cooling system but it is not quite enough for traffic. It looks like I'm going to have to put a proper fan on the front of the radiator. With the riding season pretty much over, and winter riding being a cool and occasional thing, that will wait until next spring. In the mean time though, this will be my next project for the old wing: [GALLERY=media, 27910][/GALLERY] I helped a friend move his daughter, repair a tiller, and clean up some of his ex-landlord's trash in his back yard. As a gift for the help, I got this poor, neglected, weather-beaten and filthy air compressor. It's probably still good enough to work with some cleanup, but I don't really trust pressurizing the tanks after being neglected for so long. So I've got some other plans for it... First thing was to pull it apart. Everything was welded together, so out came the Dremmel. Second, thing, get the rust out of it. Gotta love electrolysis! [GALLERY=media, 27911][/GALLERY] The tanks have been de-rusting for a week now (probably overkill), and I need to drain them, but I don't want them to rust while I'm working on them. What's the best way to keep a gas tank from rusting when it's empty? Should I use some WD40 or motor oil, swished around in there? [/QUOTE]
