Re: Cleaning Valve Covers with Evapo-Rust

Molasses works as well. Karo syrup for small amounts.

Vinegar works also.
It is all about Containment .
They had a Surplus of Vineger at the DG 3 years ago and I bought a Lot.

I have used the Electric process.
I have not tried or heard of Rust911.
I will have to test that out.

I have yet to try that.

Now I just need to find something that has Rust on it.
