DIY Hot tank?
Has anyone seen this? http://www.d-series.org/forums/diy-f...-hot-tank.html
first time i tried it on my d16 head i didn't have chicken wire so i used a diff type of wire and kind of made a box with a bunch of wires hang down on it and put it in a storage box you can buy at walmart and i dump some baking soda in (not one cup) but after 12hrs it didn't work for me, now i'm gunna try it again with a diff setup with the wire but i ran out of baking soda and don't want to drive 14 miles to pick one up so i wondering can i use one of these dawn dish soap, grill degreaser, car wash soap, ajax, laundry soap or borax? or is it best to wait till i have to go to town again for baking soda?

I was waiting for something like this to come up. I have been looking to create my own hot tank as well. I did try for some research but I really more or less came up empty handed.

Re: DIY Hot tank?
i always thought a hot tank was a chemical bath.
what's going on there is Electrolysis. and you can use the exact same process to remove rust.

Re: DIY Hot tank?
You're exactly right about the rust removal...I didn't think the electrolysis process even cleaned grimey parts...
As far as a Hot Tank is concerned, I like this setup. I wouldn't pay $600 for it from these guys + the almost $200 shipping, seeing as it is essential a controllable heater and a 55 gallon drum. This setup could be easily replicated.
