An old (82 and still going strong ) farmer I know rustproofs all his
vehicles each fall with all his old drain oil. He uses a typical 2 1/2
gallon pump sprayer with a 20 inch or so wand. Frame rails, behind panels,
inside doors and lets it drip for a day or so. Gets 2 pickups or 1 and 1/2
rack trucks per gallon or so. His youngest purchase is a 76 Nova and the
oldest vehicle is a 52 Ford rack body. The tractors go back to late 30's.
Only the Nova got rot 2 years ago on the top of the front fenders, probably
from condensation since he used it to go to Florida for 4 winters back about
7 years ago. Was the steel better in the older days, probably.
Environmentally sound method, not really, but it works.
For the way the "Pros" do it, Chuck at Olive-drab has posted the
Military TM on rustproofing and batteries and other items of common interest
