Nice! Where are you getting Evaporust. CTC Stores around me are not selling it anymore?

I did a simular with prep and etch from Home Depot, I think $17 American.

Looks good!

Sorry if this is common knowledge... but what is the tool I've indicated?

Bingo!  Instant T-bar screwdriver! (see attached)

I'll admit I'm not sure what those jaws fit, but the bar itself fits the holes in the spark plug wrench perfectly... called a "tommy bar" in some circles?

and looking at his axle wrench and handle with the hole in it, i guess it can act as a pin ...
but mine don't  have the hole....

#37 in the diagram has 2 uses.  The first is it is an 8mm open end wrench.  The second is it is used for extra leverage on the spark plug socket.  That is the only tool I have left of the tool kit from my K6 which was sold many years ago.  I still use it as an 8mm open end wrench.

EvapoRust is great for derusting fuel tanks. I rinse them with diesel instead of water to keep them from flash rusting until they are being used again. The diesel leaves a nice oily coating in them until you fill it with gas.

I've heard that kerosene (paraffin in the UK, I believe) is an equally good solution.  If so, a little less stinky?

And it doesn't affect the original plating at all, that's a nice benefit too.

WD-40 Has a similar product, at about half price. I used it on an old hatchet, overnight, and it looks new.

Spoke wrench and main jet wrench, that is if I am seeing the picture correctly as it doesn't look like the screwdriver T handle.

the " bar b, handle" doesn't fit the spokes. You're the first to say main jet wrench. others use it for the spark plug wrench handle and/or an 8mm wrench. I use it to scratch my ass but that doesn't mean that's what it's for.
     I'd like to know the official honda use for it just for sh**s and giggles, but no one really knows.

I thought it was a spoke wrench for the longest time too.  Finally, actually tried to use it for one and that ended that foolish fantasy. lol

In my internet searching, the best price I've found for the WD-40 product is about 20% higher than the best Evaporust price.  Where did you purchase it?
