Muriatic acid is no way to be doing stuff this size. The fumes will kill you, the stuff will burn you, it flash rusts as soon as you take the parts out and disposal is a real issue.

For any rust removal I suggest something like evaporust. Its much safer, stuff won't flash rust and disposal is less of a problem.


I was wondering when this guy would show up. If you can afford to buy enough evaporust you are rich enough to send it to the big guys and not do it yourself. I have used muriatic acid for 40 years to clean rust and paint off of big items. Don't use on alluminum, use outside and keep your head out of the bucket. A little common sense goes a long way. I have anouther container with soda water to counteract the acid bath, just dip for a few minutes then rinse. Anouther continer with the radiator rust inhibator to keep from flashing. Muratic acid evaporates into the air so keep away from anthing that you don't want to rust up.
