On my VF-165 there is rust under the evaporator around the drain tube area and I was wondering how I could fix this. It is not rusted through but I would really like to stop the rust before it does go through. Any ideas? I am kind of nervous about having to remove the evaporator so if I do not have to do that I would really like it.

If you don't want to remove everything, you should at least make sure that the drain hole and drain line are not plugged. That will cause water to collect and increase the rust problem. You could probably clean the area up and maybe use steel wool to get rid of the rust. Then use a spray can of hammertone Rustoleum to cover the areas that you have cleaned up. It won't look but it will prevent further rust. I suspect someone else will chip in with a better idea or two.  Tim |

I will try the steel wool. Thats fine about it not looking restored. I just want to get it fixed and as long as it works it is fine because this is not a part that people see very much anyway. Should I try to avoid getting paint on the evaporator?

POR-15 is what I would use. It will fill all the little pin holes and last forever.

I would hit it with some of those rust neutralizers after you are done getting off the heavy rust. then spray with hammertone..

I did both in the V44... after removing as much scale as possible, seal with POR15, then coat with a topcoat of Rustoleum...
