I had a 2021 Silverado bumper for sale for $400. It was nice and the cheapest around. It was winter so I kept it inside so I wouldn’t have to chop it out of the ice. Three times people were coming for it then disappeared. Each time I had to dig it out of the garage, load it in my truck and tarp it so it was ready to go if I had to work late. They message two weeks later asking if it still for sale. It’s sitting at an auto salvage now waiting for a walk in customer. I’m done dealing with it.

I just listed a new 881 on FB
A jackases asked "What condition is it in"

What is an etank?

Electrolysis tank
Need something plastic that holds water. Add some carbonate soda 2 tbs per gallon of water. Some sacrificial metal to hang inside the tank, a direct current old school battery charger. Hook the positive to the sacrificial metal and the negative to the metal you want to clean and submerge it in the water without touching the sacrificial metal.

You can also use a metal tank and hang the item on insulated wood / it's good if the tank is stainless

The second small Kawasaki is also 18 years old, but it's a newer EPA version / you need to replace the sealant because it was welded and glue a set of drivers on the thread. The piston is exemplary for its age

The exhaust port in the latest version is significantly enlarged, but the catalytic converter in the muffler still limits it

In my area plastic is cheaper than stainless

I need to look into this more. I have seen posts about it but never got too in depth.

There are posts here, and on AS. Along with all kinds on YouTube.

I have used it, especially, on old tools. Works well. Cleans off the rust, without attacking the good metal. Leaves a slight patina.

This guy is a bit of a character, but has good info, in a series of videos: uses a graphite bar as a sacrificial annode. I use old files.

Just remember that you are using electricity and water.

And that removing rust does not replace lost metal!

The new car isn’t supposed to turn into a junk hauler but you gotta get it when you can get it.

I would figure getting the voltage correct would be key.

For years I bought my wife newer vans so I could take the old ones on long saw trips.

Our wells can go over 1000 ft or 305 meters in your measurements. They have plastic casings so I am not sure what you are saying.

Just using a car battery charger, so 12V.

Some people say has to be an old style charger. I use ones from garage sales.

Long rope eh

The rope stretches when the bucket is full

Not really
It has to be a set amp charger not variable.
I had just as good results with a 3 amp or 6 amp
I have 4 strips of stainless steel from a fridge door in mine.
