Its all illegal, as Dan put it...over the roof and a cool story or loose the legs. Have a look at a street driven hotrod like a T-bucket... blacked out fenders...and the plods give them easier time than imports. *...must be something to do with age*

When I was waiting at the pits at Welshpool a couple of months ago there was a statesman with a few things that weren't able to be passed, including the exhaust. It was loud & maybe it was illegal, but I have heard louder. Few minutes later a red hot rod that was being inspected in the next lane gets started up & goes for it's drive then back again next to us. It was a hell of a lot louder than the statesman was, the inspector doing the hotrod & the one that did the statesman are both there to hear it, and this guy who seemed to have the engineering papers with him was told his car will be fine to be cleared the next morning (ie I heard this inspector say at about 8:30 to just come & see him & he will be brought through, not have to wait in line). Obviously the young guy with the statesman wasn't very happy considering they gave him shit for his exhaust when another older guy comes through in a restored car with a harley-spec exhaust & gets told nothing is out of place & to come in for coffee (basically, like).

But yeah, no discrimination with age/jealousy at all :banana:

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
