Ive not been sure as to if the electrons / ions take line of sight, and then just 'short' out on the clean metal, or if they do the closest bit first, and then move onto the further bits.
I kind of think the latter, as i cant see how i would have managed to derust the ends of the tank otherwise. But the line of sight stuff is certainly done first.
Its not a bad idea trimming the tank. One end of it is done for also. As you say though, probably not hard to fab up another one - im borrowing a friends plasma at the moment, but, like i say, my flat packed oil tank went walk about...
Ill see what comes up.
This tank is for under the seat on the 110 csw defender. You cant fit 'normal' tanks in there, as they all have the fillers pointing out to the back. This is a millitary one, with the filler in the top.
...but if i get to fabricating a new tank, ill probably just use a 90 tank, and move the filler (which would be easier than making a whole new mod style one)
