spray it on - thin it with some diesel.
it will also spray without thinning if you warm it up (stand the tin in a bucket of hot water).

Diesel is horrible **** to work wif and it dunt dry out, and it helps rust, fookin forever changin fuel tanks on trucks coz of it, white spirits drys out and leaves behind the waxzoyl, and yes heat the fooker up.
I got an oil sprayer gun wif my compressor, big long lance thing on it wif a red can that holds about 2ltres, the lance is adjustable by turning the end bit and it worked a treat, but waxoyle is ****e it only lays on the rust and allows it to eat the fooker away total zero penetration. And no you cant get rid of the rust unless you have a sand blaster or you want to zinc plate it.
I think it's a waste of time, better keeping it bare and clean.
See the threads on rust.

Ah use the pump type waxoyl sprayer. Like trewy said, stick it in some hot water for a bit, ah use some old engine oil to thin it down a bit

The pump type sprayer keeps blocking up from what I hear and engine oil causes rust.
Spent fooking ages last week lookin for a solution to rust and it seems engine oil was tried and it rusted the bastids to fook.
Buy a fooking sand blaster, and rent it out to everybody wif a landie.

On what basis to you state this? Supply data to support your statement.
I can only say that the best looking, clean, rust free part of my motors chassis is where the enjin oil has sprayed over it.

Ah found that when the sprayer started tae block up a bit, ah just stuck it in some hot water again.
Dunno if it's true about engine oil causin' rust or not, but there was an auld guy round these parts that used tae spray it inside his chassis quite regularly and it never rusted in all the years that he had it.
Wish ah could afford a sandblaster!!!!
I went through the web where folk had filled their sills up with it only to find it rotted them away.
I also found another where it gave the reasons for it rotting, something to do with the acids in it.
I here what you say but it's easy to google it and see for yourself.
I wish it did work even with the hazards coz it soaks into the rust, but it dunt. In fact I posted a thread last week on rust and some guy gave all the technical stuff on rust and said we were ****ing in the wind.

I agree, and tis funny how it's only the backs of chassis that really rust coz zo much oil comes out the engine to cover the front...and why do they pack metal things in oil for transit and storage - tiz coz it inhibits oxygen getting to the metal and rusting it, the only thing that rusts metal is oxygen so if it can't get there coz it's got a nice anaerobic seal about a molecule or 500 thick on it, it int gonna rust! Waxoyl diluted with diesel should be OK, just not quite as strong but probably less likely to flake, it needs to be effectively kept moist to keep the air out!

Yu may have a point with OLD injun oil, as it does contain acids and contaminants from the injun, but unused injun oil shud be fine - if yu get a cheap (circa £8 a gallon) oil - that would do fine.
I dunt care how dear it is if I thought it worked, we used to spray light oil on the tail lifts at work and they still rusted, so that's why I thought old oil.

so does your engine chuck out nice clean oil then Daft?
I hear what you say but how many on here spray engine oil, and it's free, and if they do let's see their rust free chassis, but instead of guessing google it.
Most engine bays are rust free might be somut to do with the heat rather than the oil.
And I have heard this story about the guy that sprayed his chassis, but I have never seen one, and mot tested cars since I was a boy.
I only ever saw a mk 3 cortina that went to africa every year that was done wif body shoots underside and the wings roof and fookin everywhere, a fookin mess it was if there was rust yer were never gona find it until the chassis fell off
I aint gona fook my health for a rusty landy thas fur sure, waxoil was tried and it failed so unless there is somut out there that is safe then rust ya bastid.
