Keep Baking Soda and plenty water handy when working with acid.
Also, some riders have removed rust with only vinegar multiple times. It rips all the rust rigt out. problem is… it comes back no matter what I do. I coat it with marvels mystery oil and seafoam seconds after I rinse out the acid; Rust always comes back in 24 hours.
But, first things first, safety equipment is a must. Chemical gloves, eye protection and preferably a respirator. Not using safety equipment is asking for it… Also if you have really bad deposits in your tank like some of mine, I recommend using bolts, nuts etc. to remove the big junk first. Then once that is done use the acid to remove the rest.
Most body shops use the phosphoric acid to wash bare body metal done to remove rust.Its milder than muriatic but not a whole lot more.It will clean concrete and blind you just as fast.
