Ok so the car did this once before, the reverse warning sound (the *beep* *beep* *beep*) is stuck and also the reverse lights are stuck. The car drives fine, switches gears fine, handles fine, revs fine, etc... but the reverse beep is stuck and the reverse lights are stuck ( I removed the bulbs) but the beep is driving me insane whenever I use the car.

Any idea what could the problem be? Anyone know where the reverse sensor is?

There are two sensors on the driver's side of the box.....if you drive on the RH side lol.....it is the one furthest forward from memory. The switch will either be stuck on inside or the wires are bare and touching. You only have to touch the two wires together and it will do what you are describing. I would guess it's the wiring and not the sensor as usually people do a half arsed job in that department and the sensors are a pretty basic operation

Well this car was converted to LH drive... >_< so the wiring is something I was looking into fixing in the future when I do a wire tuck inside the engine bay was also going to have my mechanic fix all the half assed job of relocating the relay box and wiring. If you could provide me with a picture of what you're talking about I'd be very grateful. :) (this sound is driving me nuts)

Thanks!

You don't need a picture, there are two sensors poking out the side of the box, then the speedo. If you actually look, you will see it. Difficult to get to from under the car but you may have to drop the gearbox crossmember to lower the box to gain access to the switch. Trust me, look and you will see it

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?

      You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.

      The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
