    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Rust on chrome pipe

I tried a search but didn't really help, I have chrome four into one vance and hines side pipe? and where the four meet ,I have rust and it's hard to get to it any suggestions . Don't want to buy new pipe until I get every other detail worked out. The po said the pipe was only couple of years old and last one he had was same pipe and lasted for ever, he thought they were making them cheaper than they used to??
 
A friend gave me a half full bottle of some stuff called navel jelly, guess I nothing to lose??If I pour it in there the stuff I can't reach will just rinse away with water
 
Naval Jelly is good stuff, put it on and work it every so often with a brush,
keep an eye on it, it takes some time to work, but it does work, rinses off with water. I wouldn't let it sit overnight though.
 
There is no chrome in that area where they come together. Even if you remove the rust, they will just rust again. I'd just leave it alone. If you insist, I'd try some oxalic acid mixed with water. Wood bleach typically has oxalic acid it in. Won't hurt the chrome either.
 
Auto paint stores sell rust mort, I used it in a spray bottle , soaked everything down well, let it sit for several hours, then used a gun cleaning nylon brush and dish soap to clean out any excess.

I did it to prep for ceramic coating, but never got around to it (ran out of money). Even so, it has not re rusted yet.
 
Been working on it, and I think with a couple of more passes and it will be fine .Would like to coat it with something cause the rest of pipe looks good , but if I can keep it from getting worse I could live with it for a while.
 
Spray paint over the rust, problem solved.
Just set a shop towel Over the pipe and go nuts.

Or you can just keep watching it rust more and more...lol
