I think it is relevant, cause how can u judge if u havent tried something. They are not 15cm long, there about 40cm and of course if u wanted to vent externally u make a small bracket up that u can brace the pipe up with. making a bracket would cost about $5 in steal or aluminum and about half hour of ur time.

Have you ever had any experience with the stuff? It leaks like crazy and doesn't last very long. What is the point in having a wastegate pipe plumbed into your exhaust if it simply leaks everywhere anyway? It also doesn't flow very well, it is much more restrictive than solid piping in the same diameter. It's only suitable purpose it to be used as a temporary solution until proper parts can be used. Or on tractors/trucks.

i drove a guys 33 one day to see how the turbo was, it had a megaphone exhaust with screamer and the loudest bov in the world, everyone gave me the hate looks within 1 minute of driving, before even flooring it, As quiet as possible is the goal I reckon

      It's sodium citrate, I misspoke earlier. It's a citrate buffer solution. And yes, depending on how thin the metal in the tank is this may or may not be a wise decision but if it's just mild rust it should clean off and it should be fine.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      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.
