Sorry to get a bit off topic but ive often wondered if elctrolysis would work in the inside of the tank to remove rust like suspending and elctrode (rebar) thru the 'plumbing ports' on a tank and submerging it.
i have an old one 60 or 80 gal that i want to try this with i bought it used and its old but looks to be decent but im unsure. has anyone tried this?

Now if you want to introduce an electric current you can strip the rust off electrolically.

Been looking for a 30-50 gallon upright compressor tank to make a propane forge out of. Or I suppose a hot water tank with a somewhat rusted bottom would work as well...
As one member suggested, it would make a really good meat smoker as well. Meat that is soaked in a spicy marinade, then smoked and then BBQed is so good.... I"m getting hungry now...

thats exactly what i meant, i was just asking if anyone has tried it. i'm thinking dig a pit, or find a large enough container to submerge the tank with the electrode suspended in the solution and thru the holes in the tank and electrify it

Any old air tank we have gets the gas axe (oxy torch) to it before we throw it out. That way no one can try & use it as a pressure tank again.
