Eddy, I just finished rolling around on floor. Used to be one of my favourite jokes.
Terry, have you tried molasses to remove the rust and scale? You need a compressor to do a leak down test, so blame Jon as well. But seriously, you need a compressor to do any mechanical work correctly, as you well know.
Yeah, but I needed someone else to say I needed one so I was allowed to buy one
Went to Total Tools to see what was available to pump the volume of air required for a rattle gun and minor spray painting ...... $1200 plus ...... so we didn't buy one of those, paid half that much for a 10hp 170cfm unit from the local equipment at the right price store .... Paramount Brown for those in the Adelaide area, but every city has their bargain equipment store
Bought two different sized plastic containers as well, so I'll try this acid stuff first because I've already got it, if that doesn't work, the long soak in molasses and try that .... then phosphoric acid as a last resort .... I know that will work, it's just rough on the lungs and hands when working with it .....
Most of the day is gone now, so work will resume tomorrow .... if this headache buggers off .....
T1 Terry
