More importantly, will it be pertinent to helping me understand what a stury is? :? :lol:

If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay us to do it?

Fridgie.....its an anagram for diesel......don't you know tinnyhag?

Don't know about the peanut oil, but the diesel would soak in everywhere on its own.

Idea solution would be to strip the chassis, body and drive train components and zinc plate them, followed by a zinc rich epoxy paint.

I noticed that there's a horizontal section along the inside of the front chassis rails, is this what your referring to, or something else?

I've thought about giving the hollow sections a good rust treatment and then either filling em with expanding foam or covering all the holes. Only downside with the foam is if any rust got started you'd have a great task to fix.

I use it after every trip, its worth every cent in my opinion.
Does a great job of getting water in all the spaces.

It depends on the power of your water blaster.
But the spray coming out of it is defused, hard to explain, if you use it in open air the spray will go about 4-5 meters in the air.look it up on you tube, I'm sure there are some demo's done on there.
