I have a copy of Tom Brownell's "How to Restore Your Collector Car" in which he discusses such recipes. For paint and grease removal he first uses a lye solution. For rust removal he uses Phosphoric

I don't know what all winds up in the solution, but phosphoric acid is pretty benign from an environmental point of view. For example, it's one of the ingredients in Coke ! Randall /// unsubscribe/c

My point is, I don't know where you live, but I no longer even have access to a landfill, much less one that would allow me to show up with a drum of phosphoric acid and pour it into a ditch. Dispos

I have been told that for relatively mild acids you should dilute heavily and neutralize them with a base like baking soda or TSP. They can then be dumped in your home drain. Not the storm drain. One

Phosphoric acid is completely landfill disposable provided it's neutralized. You have ways of disposing of it legally, but it's not convenient or free. Again, vinegar does the job. Much less difficul

That's what I've heard, that the pH of residential sewage is usually too high. Not sure if that's still true now that tri-sodium phosphate has been outlawed as a laundry detergent. Decaying organic

Diluted and neutralized acid is not a big deal. As someone said, dispose of it like you would an old bottle of Coke. It is more benign than that, and not much dirty than your wash water after washing

For those unwilling to deal with lye (NaOH), baking soda (NaHCO3) serves the same purpose (at somewhat increased expense). And of course, won't hurt your skin, clothing (or septic system). Phosphoric

If they treat it as well as we are in the Twin Cities, it might not be too bad. There is surely room for improvement, but the Mississippi in the Twin Cities is cleaner than it has been for generation
