Here are some pics of the tank. Let me know your thoughts.

Nice!!

Mine has been running flat out with snow blade parts.... I will be some disappointed if it don't go together!

I do like the jumper cable setup though, much easier to pull the rebar to clean it.

One thing... I put gas pipe thread sealant on the bungs, I found one them of leaked a bit. As you can guess, it wasn't empty when I found that. I used that because I had it around, supposed to work under pressure. A friend asked me why the top wasn't cut instead of the bottom, as I was using the shop vac to drain it.

Hopefully a silly question, but how you gonna get it out with that mower blade on it??

May it give you many shiny parts!

It's short enought so it will go in from the bottom of the hole in the tank.

Cecil:

I was telling Em about your tank.. and we were wondering the same thing.. and I said to her, yup, he probably either shortened or used short re-bar so that the whole thing will go in from inside the tank, thereby also ensuring that the re-bar blade concoction stayed out of the crud on the bottom lessening the need to keep adjusting the ground clamps...

Us Navy guys think alike I guess...

wy the jonction box?
i expected to be able to put one clip of the charger to the chain, and the other on the rebars

The junction box is just for convenience and to make it look pretty. You can clip directly to the part being cleaned. The clip for the anode needs to be kept out of the electrolyte.

Gilles:

It is because both Cecil and I like to keep things neat. It is a NAVY thing.. everything thing shipshape and organized. also, it protects your charger and yourself from actually shorting accidentally if you cross the wires..

Whatever you are comfortable with works.. as long as you are comfy with it.

Yep.... until I won the stylish one at Cecil's Cubfest, I just used whatever tank was available with clamps holding the rebar in place and a big assortment of jumper cables, wire clips and whatever was around. It all works.

Now I went and done it.... while I had an extra spot in the tank I threw the dog leg (the one I got off) from the 'new' Cub in. Dang it, but the paint on the bottom is RED and the paint on top looks a little too much like A-C orange. STOP ME BEFORE I DO IT AGAIN.... please! Honest, I was only going to use this one, but the hood is off and the wiring harness is in shreds on the floor (should be in the trash).

Larry:

Well now that you got the Hood Off... You Might AS WELL

I warned Larry that he would soon be knee deep in cub gizzards!!
I love the electrolysis tank. I'm keeping an eye open for a larger one. Ed

I am seriously going to just check the compression, change the plugs and wire it to run without the generator then the hood goes back on. I will be shopping for a generator and brackets over the winter.

Did clean the air filter up and spread some Kroil around. Ralph is sending me a shifter.

Scotty's Dad.... I did tell someone they could have my old big tank, but that was a while back, come and get it!
