Anyone here used oxalic acid to remove rust  Need to know the concentrations used and storage / disposal protocols.

Debs probably would know the answer.....without looking it up.

IIRC the major constituent of the engine de-greaser/cleaner; Gunk is Oxalic acid.
You can (cheaply) buy the concentrated oxalate from farm supply merchants: sold as Dicarboxylic Disinfectant.....it`s VERY strong, even when diluted with copious-water.....so strong in fact it will quickly take off oxidised galvanised plating and return it to an 'as-new' shine!
...`though I`d be careful if there`s likely to be any aluminium under that paint H.C!

   H & S Protocols don`t apply to farmers.

All of a sudden I am a buggy farmer ( will that count ? )

Yes, Country File had a section on it this week. The most dangerous place to work.

You be careful with all them power take offs, threshers and other such modern conveniences.

You never know what may happen when you get down to mow your meadow...

Peeing in the stinging nettles is a bit surprising too  ..... but that's another story !!!!

When is somebody going to think of a question to which this woman doesn't know the answer?

......not just obvious (machinery) dangers either:
I know of two occurrences of farmers killed (instantly) by large, steel barn-doors blowing in the wind.....and one chap (recently) killed by his own caravan; when he was un-hitching it, the van rolled on a gentle slope and crushed him against a wall.

I`m very careful; I`m more likely to 'die of boredom' out here in the styx, than succumb to any injury.

Oooh, that's horrible - killed by a steel barn door  Must be awful for the families.

Dunno about the styx though, do the sheep have horns and brimstone breath round your way? If so, I hope the dogs do good this weekend, theyll have their work cut out

Still Debs at least you are not a farmer in Flanders ploughing the old battlefields of WWI.

Every so often a Belgium farmer hits one of the estimated 10,000,000 unexploded ordnance that lies in their lands and sadly claims another life to add to that war's dreadful toll!

H & S has no place there!!

Now, that would make my tractor work more 'interesting'.....`certainly focus the mind, wouldn`t it Lizzie?
