Forge header tank - Rust inside....
 
Bought one of these for my scoob and its been powdercoated black, but as I havent used it for so long theres rust on the inside (not loads), will this cause any problems if I fit it?

or do I fit it and flush the system again after a few days?


Thanks

shouldnt be rusty, made from stainless steel arent they?

Didn't some one post that white vinegar will eat rust overnight !

Stainless Steel will corrode, just not as easily as "bog standard" steel.

HTH

P.S. Cheap stuff works just as well.

I thought Forge header tanks were ally, not stainless?

I'll give the white vinegar ago to night.

Thanks.

If white vinegar doesn't work, you could always try some coca-cola...

As above, I thought the idea of changing to Forge would be so it doesn't rust...

Thanks for the tips.
