I remember you from the wheeler dealers show. I'm sorry you quit because you made very good movies about cars. When I was a kid, I loved watching you guys. Greetings from Poland
Edd....It's awesome to see a REAL mechanic instead of someone trying to "play" one on UA-cam! I'm restoring a Rolls Royce Cloud. Your work is valuable to me in my restoration. You are through and make things simple/easy to understand. That's a gift that most people do not have! Awesome to see you back! Take care!
Nicely done on the fuel tank rust. I had rust inside a motorcycle fuel tank and got rid of it the following way: Put in 15 litres of Apple Cider Vinegar in the tank. (total tank capacity was 17 litres). Shook it around, left it 24 hours. Drained the cider vinegar out. Filled it with water from a hose. Drained out the water. Blasted WD40 and shook around the tank. Drained this out. Filled with 2 litres of petrol, shook this around. Drained the petrol out. Tank was then ready to go. I put an inline fuel filter, to catch any sediment, which I changed after 9 months. Been using the bike for over 2 years with no issues. Loving the new channel Edd. All the best.
Thank you for doing this fuel tank on the cheap. I have used a similar method with rusty motorcycle tanks. There are a lot of us with a project and families who can't just buy a new tank. A little ingenuity and elbow grease goes a long way! My wife saw me watching and said " I love that guy, the short one was an ass." Nuff said. Much love and admiration from Fate Texas!
Nice episode! I love how you admit that in hindsight, buying a new tank would have been a better option. Your honesty is one of your many endearing qualities.
I can happily watch Edd struggle with a rusty Car, rusty fuel tank and tricky fuel lines for 40 minutes! It’s like watching a episode of WD but it hasn’t been edited at all! Love it!
In only the last ten or so episodes of this new show I have found from an old friendly face we all loved on tv. My brain is exploding with knowledge of the things I'm watching in this. It really makes me feel at ease tackling those little jobs on the car that garages love to charge a small fortune to 'have a look at'.
Hi Edd, thanks for the video. My Grandads in the hospital because of COVID and I needed something to get my mind off that. Thanks for making a tough day better.
Not everyone can afford a new fuel tank. A new tank for a BMW e38 7 series is around £800. The technique shown is really useful and can also be used on a plastic fuel tank. I had to do this on a 5 series where the fuel had emulsified and a combination of thick varnished petrol and rust from the sender unit had coated the insides. I used lots of nuts and bolts and agitation to loosen the coating inside the tank and it restored a plastic fuel tank which was otherwise perfectly serviceable. Great technique for those who may not be able to source a new tank for an obscure classic or on a tight budget.
Great to see the heart of Wheeler dealers doing what he does best, fix shit. Always appreciated the knowledge and skills Ed demonstrated on the show. Nowadays shows turn into a long advert or drama about personalities. Eds about automotive and mechanical engineering not bullshit. Well done thumbs up and a new subscriber here.
Great to see you giving the cement mixer idea a go, you will get even better results if change the angle of the mixer drum and thus get different abrasion patterns inside the tank. We also used the mixer to a apply the coating on the inside (a new tank was not an option in our case)
Thanks Edd for the straight cut gears explanation, something I’ve always wondered but not investigated :-) Keep up the great work and excellent video production, very watchable indeed!
Edd, I loved this episode! You are singlehandedly renewing a generations interest in working with your hands. It makes you think that these kinds of tasks are really not out of the realm of possibility. Excellent job. Love it.
I really love what you're doing with youtube right now, when i used to Watch you on TV i always thought that i would have liked something like that but on youtube and here we are... Greetings from italy

I had never really paid much attention to this until this episode. The level of in depth explanation Edd gave us in this particular episode, I can now understand his beef with Discovery. I have to say that I completely agree and understand his situation. Abundantly clear, his reasoning. I don't know why I had never paid that close of attention to until this show.

Considering how much trouble corrosion on the inside of a tank is to remove and the probability of more problems in the future the prudent thing to do would be to replace that tank.
Hi Edd, Lovely to be back in your motherland! When you were in the USA You had all the best equipment to do your projects. Then i saw you working on Range Rover removing the fuel tank using your Tool box to prop up the Fuel tank. That is called any means of .... i love your channel , you are very cool and calm.

Hey Ed, you should cover the end of the pipe as you are threading it through the chassis to keep out debris. Also, a bubble flair tool works just as well to prepare the ends.
I totally get the tank replacement for the labour saving aspect but there is a bit of a buzz from saving something that's so perilously close to being scrap. Good work sir!
Having Big chunky connectors on the fuel line “wouldn’t look right”. Meanwhile, moss is growing on top of the headlights and the inside of the car is a verifiable terrarium.
@@danbradley7176 I was doing work at the house/shop of a guy who was a fairly well known builder at the time and he took me out to see a vw beetle that was being featured in a magazine. The thing had rust on every surface and when I asked wtf is with the body work he said bro it’s called “patina it’s going to be the next big thing.” It took a while but he wasn’t wrong.
Starting in 1988 when I was young and full of energy I took a car I loved apart down to the bare frame. I sandblasted it myself then epoxy primed it and repainted it. I refurbished every nut, bolt, wire, hose, pipe, component and subassembly, just EVERYTHING on that car! So when I FINALLY got through it looked like it was on the showroom floor.

I had the same with a Harley tank. Completely rusted and pieces of old paint layers on the inside due to Ethanol. There is a company in out country that blasts the inside of the tank 100% clean to blank metal, and then gives the inside a coating that will stay on for the coming 25 years garanteed. Total cost €350
@@derf9465 I did. I used about every known method over a period of 4 weeks. Never totaly got rid of the rust, and i wanted clean bright metal befor having it coated again. When there still is any rust, you can start all over again in about 3 years. I worked with rusty gastanks several times over the last 40 years. Caustic soda/ natriumhydrixide can only do a limited job. The "pearl" blasting does the trick, but you need specialized equipement and a camera for working 100% inside the tank.
@@danieleaton1399 I dont know that Por15 product, but in Europe we do have several kits for cleaning and coating rusted gas tanks. Ranging from €50 to €200, but in the end, over the years, the results of these were seldom any good. Por15 can be better or something new, i dont know.
@@BMWHP2 you can buy it online I used it to clean my car tank had been sitting 6 years used degreaser then cleaner then final tank sealer came out like new
Please use the right type of hose clamp ("Jubilee clip") the next time you do this. The worm-gear type that you are putting on in this episode are usually designed to cut into the hose, and are unsuitable for high-pressure applications. The correct type look like a Greek letter Omega, where the screw goes through the straight "legs" of the Omega, and the sides of the clamp/clip are bent up so that the edge of the metal does not slice into the rubber of the hose. As you might imagine, cutting into a rubber hose that carries high-pressure gasoline is usually not something you want to do. If you're sharp eyed, you'll notice one of the correct type of clamps/clips on one end of one of the old hoses that you re-used in the engine bay.
Edd, have you thought about coating the inside of the tank with epoxy? I believe there are special epoxy paints that you slosh around in the tank to coat it and prevent future rust. They have it for motorcycle tanks... Just a thought. Keep up the good work. Love the videos!
The mess with the water when removing rust from tanks can be avoided if, instead of water, screws and nuts, you simply use abrasives for sandblasting or aquarium gravel. Finally, rinse the tank again with phosphoric acid and the tank is protected from rust from the inside (rust converter principle)
To be honest, I wasn’t really expecting to be working on it this much! It was towed into the ramp and I was just going to ‘quickly’ get it going so I could drive it out and then clean it…
@@eddchina To be fair Edd I think it's making a great "how to" vehicle, it contains a wealth of videos of jobs we all want to tackle or learn how to do that bit better.
Lesson for me is: sell enough pencils on the corner to buy the new tank. Evaporust is expensive here in the States. However, I love watching you work! Great lessons for motorcycle and small engine applications. Subscribing👍
Couple of quick questions. Why don’t you (or didn’t you) just take the wheels off? You seem to be working around them with difficulty. Secondly, we know the Rover is a field find. But with a few minutes or even an hour of a scrub brush, soap and water would have given you an almost clean work space with out cobwebs, dirt and whatnot that will cause you to take additional time to blow out lines and connections after they fact…
All the time I was repeating these words: why not remove the wheels? Wouldn't it be more easy to access the places where the tubes are bent the most??? And the other is: all the dirt from the chassis is now inside of the brand new fuel lines, AFTER the filter...
Off topic: I just looked up Edd on wikipedia and found that he's 50 years old! Damn, he looks much better than me and I'm 15 year younger! :D I would have said he's 40 at most, not a day older.
@@antonyhenson8969 There was an editing flub early in the original version, where Edd's words were briefly interrupted by himself from a few minutes later.
Hello dear Ed. Your new show is great, now I understand why I watched the old one, because from my point of view I was always interested in technical issues and you were one of the few who explained not only how you fix something but also the method (or materials) you use . Thanks a lot and nice to see you here again. I hope the show goes well and you get the support you want. Thanassis from Greece.
In fairness Edd explains this in the video, ‘will have to flush them out as I cannot cover ends as need to feed through tight pipe fittings’ or words to that affect.
Shouldn't fuel tanks be sealed after such a treatment? After all, the coating has been eroded/rusted away. No tank will remain full at all times to protect the bare metal.
Yes, I guess so. Apart from that: there still is a pretty big amount of rust in the tank. Why didn't he tumble the tank for another 48 hours. Maybe with stones / sand?
I can imagine you and James may getting on really well , you both have that slow and steady work method , I enjoy watching you both explain things , its very calming.
Really like the bead tool Edd. I have made new fuel lines for my BMW 840Ci that I have been restoring for a few years out of 8mm copper pipe, and I soldered 8mm brass olives onto the ends to create a bead. Works great, simple and cheap.
Really want to see this rust bucket to move again
It wants driving straight to the scrap yard
It's a bit of a dump,but Ed will work his magic 🎩💯💥💥🤜
I'd imagine Edd has checked the body and suspension for rust to make sure it has a chance of passing. Then again...
@Terry Winter it does seem weird and a bit strange 🤔

Off topic: I just looked up Edd on wikipedia and found that he's 50 years old! Damn, he looks much better than me and I'm 15 year younger! :D I would have said he's 40 at most, not a day older.
That’s because he’s stayed out of the sun and in the garage all his life 😂
You look younger
I could watch your video's all day long. Well done
Two uploads in a couple of days! Is it Christmas?!
The first one was last weeks for some reason it got removed and edd put it back up with changes
@@antonyhenson8969 There was an editing flub early in the original version, where Edd's words were briefly interrupted by himself from a few minutes later.
Hello dear Ed. Your new show is great, now I understand why I watched the old one, because from my point of view I was always interested in technical issues and you were one of the few who explained not only how you fix something but also the method (or materials) you use . Thanks a lot and nice to see you here again. I hope the show goes well and you get the support you want. Thanassis from Greece.
Wonder why you didn’t put some tape over the fuel line so no crud went into the pipes as they went through
Thought the same, but then also thought Edd knows what he’s doing and probably blasted some air through the lines (off camera).
In fairness Edd explains this in the video, ‘will have to flush them out as I cannot cover ends as need to feed through tight pipe fittings’ or words to that affect.
Another brilliant episode from Edd China: Super Genius!
Sorry, Wile E. Coyote - you've been replaced :)
Shouldn't fuel tanks be sealed after such a treatment? After all, the coating has been eroded/rusted away. No tank will remain full at all times to protect the bare metal.
Yes, I guess so. Apart from that: there still is a pretty big amount of rust in the tank. Why didn't he tumble the tank for another 48 hours. Maybe with stones / sand?
should have bought a replacement for that pos tank. what a waste of time.
I can imagine you and James may getting on really well , you both have that slow and steady work method , I enjoy watching you both explain things , its very calming.
Fill the gas tank with evaporust for a weak and you will see magic :)
Really like the bead tool Edd. I have made new fuel lines for my BMW 840Ci that I have been restoring for a few years out of 8mm copper pipe, and I soldered 8mm brass olives onto the ends to create a bead. Works great, simple and cheap.
I'm wondering why ordinary satin black for the fuel tank rather than a stone chip paint - particularly for an off roader
Mine is a 1989 so I'm guessing it's the same as this, they have a 'skid plate' under the tank for those unplanned incursions! ;-)
Loving the show Edd
I’m sure there’s a reason you haven’t removed the tires to do that.
I was just thinking the same. I’m half way through watching this and that wheel is even annoying me!!
Possibly to prevent impaling himself on various bits of suspension?
Trying to get those wheel nuts off is a whole other episode.
He'll be moving it up and down too often
To much rust
Nature is really doing it's best to take that car back!😁
