What was the name of the stuff I’m supposed to put in my compressor tank to stop rust???
and where will I be able to ask for it without getting those three-headed alien return looks???
“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?
It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags.
And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store.
Maybe Christmas… perhaps… means a little bit more!â€
“And then the true meaning of Christmas came through, and the Grinch found the strength of ten Grinches plus two. “

Greetings MisterT,
As a longtime time poster seeing no one has as yet answered your post I'm thinking yer shid outta luck there buddy and sometimes that's the breaks. Sucks but life goes on.
However, let it be known that this post, in response to your question, will bump the thread through the 'recent discussion' listing again which will still increase it's viewing and maybe, perhaps just maybe, someone will have mercy on your poor soul and throw you an acorn of knowledge from the BT reservoir.
Cheers

after he puts in the antifreeze and destroys his tools he won't need the compressor so the question is moot...
so he's shid outta luck there buddy and sometimes that's the breaks, sucks, but life goes on.

besides..
who wants the stain on the material they're installing when the antifreeze starts misting out the trim gun's exaust port..
and what will it do to the oiless tools???

You've got a very good point there about the effect on the material.As for the tools. Oiled tools, and oiless alike, the antifreeze will help save them from rusting out from the plain old water that will be going through them instead.Anti freeze is formulated to condition seals, and to inhibit rust.You have water in the compressor, whether you like it or not. If you do not filter it 12 ways to sunday before it gets to the tool, you have water getting to the tool as well. The antifreeze will save the tools and your compressor from rust and freezing.

With all the things you are expecting the antifreeze to do, how much are your pouring in your tank each week?It only took me 1 way to Sunday to stop the water going to the tools, it's called an "air line dryer".Steve.
I run about 30 gallons of antifreeze through the compressor every couple of hours of use.

Luka...
30 gallons of antifreeze every two hours..
what do you use for recovery???

Recovery ?We don't need no steenking recovery !The local dogs and cats are happy to lap up any that doesn't end up evaporating.What they miss, the mountain beavers, or chipmunks or raccoons usually get.Any that gets past all those animals just runs off into the river anyway. Who cares ?;o)

heard back from Senco already..
do not use antifreeze...
Use this as a winter oil:
Do not use antifreeze.
No-oil tools – use nothing, but do your best to supply dry air.

Well geez, if you can't use antifreeze, then your next best option is to fill the tank with "Great Stuff" !Or you could cut the end off the tank, line everything inside with Grace Ice and Water Sheild, and epoxy the end back on...

plan "B"
Marty,
Straight antifreeze will absorb moisture in the tanks & help prevent rusting
but without an oil additive will also dry out the seals in pilot valves,
idle kits, pressure switches, regulators, & your tools. A better idea might
be to put a product called Kilfrost into the tanks. You can learn more about
kilfrost by visiting http://www.keystonelubricants.com

Ok, I just gotta ask.I went to Keystone's website and read the PDF on Kilfrost. Nowhere does the manufacturer indicate this product should be used to prevent rust in a compressor tank. Why would you think you should use this instead of a product explicitly developed to prevent rust on a bare metal surface like LPS3 or Boeshield?Steve.
Rolair recomended the product... I passed on the information on...
I wouldn't put oils in my compressors' tanks because of the possible contamination of air lines, tools and the product that I'm working on...
who needs more add on costs...

heard back from Rolair too..
Good Morning Marty,
We've never heard of a product that can be used to prevent rust inside the tanks. Even if the inside of a tank is primed & oiled prior to being rolled the welding of the seam & end caps removes any coating that has been applied around those areas.
The best thing you can do is drain each tank on a daily basis.
Please note that our drain valves are secured with loctite & you will need to drain the tanks completely &
apply heat, using a hand held propane torch, to the drain valve coupling before attempting to remove the drain valve(s).
If your tanks are excessively soiled internally visit http://www.petroferm.com for information on cleaning agents that can be used to flush the tank(s)
Best Regards,

All good advice.As for MrT's original question...I like handymanvan's suggestion.Remove the tank from the compressor. Pour in enough "RustPho", (From a marine supply.), to coat the entire inside of the tank. Roll the tan around to coat it. Let drain, and let completely cure before putting the tank back in use.If there is already heavy rust in the tank, replace it.

Dang rookie questions muddling up the forum.
You don't put anything in the tank, you take something out ... Drain the tank every day to remove condensed water vapor.
"When asked if you can do something, tell'em "Why certainly I can", then get busy and find a way to do it." T. Roosevelt
There is such a product, reviewed in FHB a long while back. If I ever find it I'll use it. But for now I drain when I think of it.
-Brian
When I bought my new compressor I turned it over, poured about half a cup of LPS3 (commercial rust inhibitor), closed the valve, carefully sloshed it around on the bottom half of the tank and then drained it out. That was about 7 years ago and no evidence of any rust in the water that I drain after every use.

This signature line intentionally left blank.
Rust Converter, looks milky best I can tell, it completely covers the rust and makes it hard and sealed up. I like the stuff, comes in pour in and spray in.
The last compressor I purchased, I removed the motor and all the fittings. I plugged the treaded openings with rags, opened the 2 inch inspection plug, got a coat hanger to knock off all the interior tank paint that had been burned by the manufacturer during welding the motor mounts and frame for the wheels. Then I poured in a quart or so of this gooey gas tank sealer (from J.C. Whitney), put the inspection plug back in and rolled the tank around to coat all the interior. Next I removed the inspection plug and the rags from the fitting ports, drained out the remaining liquid and let the tank dry out for a few days. I re-mounted the fittings and motor. That was nearly thirty years ago and the tank still as good as new.
