What should I soak rusty injectors in?
1982 300D
What would be a good thing to soak my rusty injectors in so they look a little better externally? I know, it's what's inside that counts, but I'd sure like to cut down on the amount of brown-red in my engine bay. Thanks, Pete.

I want to be careful about using any rust type product, so that if I ever end up sending the injectors to Colorado Biodiesel, they can still be cleaned to bare metal and plated. If I use any rust-conversion type product, it might be more difficult for Tom to restore (my guess anyways).
I just want to clean them up a bit, without hurting them internally as BHD says. Anything that can accomplish both? Thanks, Pete.

Clean them using electroylsis, I've done many different items. The result is great and it only will effect rust.
