Inboard Diesel Engine Rust (Volvo MD11c)
Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2007 9:03 am
The outside surface of my MD11C is rusting fairly heavily in some places.
I bought some "corrosion block" based on readers reviews in the PBO forums and have simply removed the larger flakes of rust, and liberally applied a good squirting.
It gets fantastic reviews if you look about.

But should I have spent more time cleaning up the engine surfaces first? Is it effective if you just spray it directly onto a rusty surface?
I'd definitely have cleaned up a bit more, but as is so often the case (and I'm no exception here) my engine is pretty inaccessible.
Cheers,
