all acid is, by definition, acidic.

i believe the word you are looking for is Acetic.

I tryed to drop my tank, it didnt work i need nut loosener or something. my car sat for five years. i was scared to see what was in the tank

z-hag

i figured that out and found that the acetic acid is found in vinegar so should i put that in my tank to clean it out or what help please i don't know what to do...and yes i did look it up

The only good results I've seen on gas tanks is done by a radiator shop. For about $100 it will be like new. Tell them not to paint it cause they use radiator paint, paint it yourself.

do you mean the outside or the inside?

snwbrderphat540

oooooo man.... for the kid that is poorer than dirt from other threads and couldnt figure out how to sync carbs your gonna pull off a 2jz swap outta no where????????

when you dont complain your a good kid. but keep the projects realistic, you save time money hopes and your ego.

You take the tank to the radiator shop and they dip the whole thing and test for leaks. I tried cleaners and acid but got unexcepable results.
I've been with Zdriver for over 4 years and value everyones help. My experience tells me that the members that think they already know every thing and flame your ideas or your car eventually go away.

ok so about the paint were you talking about the inside or outside? and is $500 for carb rebuild sound right? and is 40 for diagonistic a good deal?

hoov100

$500 to rebuild a set a SU carbs is a rip off, and paying for someone to tell you what they "think" is wrong on a car with carbs is just a little... i would suggest reading up or buying a book on rebuilding the carbs and then buy the syncrometer and go from there. no point in paying somebody to do something that you can easily learn to do on your own.

tonsoffun300zx

ok then how about you help me out with my car and you can teach me and i'll pay you?

snwbrderphat540

AWWWW. you guys can be Z buddies. thats so cute!!!!

im jealous.....

tonsoffun300zx

ha ha ha!!!

hoov100

or.....you could just go on hybridz for a few days and read all the info you want.

tonsoffun300zx

ok fine then and i wanted to be your z buddie!!! just kidding but i would really appreciate the help if you ever have time

snwbrderphat540

awww.... is hoovie woovie hidin something? why dont you want to be friends????

tonsoffun300zx

i think he might be sour about the deal we were going to go through with (my 240z and $1500 for his 300zx) but he never responded to my posts or emails so idk but i think he didn't have room or something like that on top of it all but im not sure

snwbrderphat540

a 240Z and 1500 for a turbo Z31.... sounds like HE is getting a good deal and if he fails to see it he is a tard. if anything, if you have 1500 to drop on a lowsy Z31 you should take it, do the body up purty for half that and use the other half to get yourself some rebuilt performance carbs and exhaust

tonsoffun300zx

i was going to make payments but im thinking about triple webbers but i want to find them for under $1000 if thats possible. but i don't know how to re-build carbs

snwbrderphat540

carbs.... are simple. get a book, get a kit, and go to town. not like they are some miracle technology only an astro physicist can work on.

tonsoffun300zx

but what if i mess up my carbs like to where they can't be fixxed?
