Molasses and water rust remover converter

Cleaning up a rusted cast iron BBQ burner with molasses and water.
Molasses mixed with water 1:10 ratio (by volume).
Rust in molasses/water reacts to form phosphoric acid (a common ingredient in off-the-shelf rust converters) right where it is needed.
Eco friendly and gentle, use on garden when done.
Use cheap stock feed molasses.
Pressure washers can make the cleaning faster.
Takes time - up to a week in my experience for heavy rust (sub tropical zone).

1958 time capsule unearthed in Emmetsburgby ohnschad77,794 views
I have a lot of second hand guns (couple old Enfields, a Lithgow 1B and a J. Stevens shotgun). While they function, they have significant amounts of rust on them. Would using this rust-removal technique interfere with their mechanical operation in any way after rust-removal and reassembly?

@erectinGear Perhaps someone who has tried it will chime in, personally I really would think carefully before using on parts with high tolerances.

??? i have a moped tomos targa. the gas tank is part of the frame . i dont know what the frame is made of how would i find that out. also does the stuff end up breaking down the rust so that i could use it and tip the bike upside down and spray with a hose to get it all out. next the tank metal whatever is clean does it need some treatment to stop fast rusting out
then also what would happen if a small amount of gas was in the tank

@bill739 Research the bike (google) to find out the frame materials. I would probably give it a go, you can always check it every few hours or daily to keep on top of it. A water dispersant will help prevent flash rust forming or a heat gun for drying after washing off.

Does Molasses remove paint as well or just rust? If I have a piece of rusty pained wrought iron, will it all come off?

@longgonebaby In my experience if the paint is flaky or on a rusted surface that can be penetrated it will come off, if the paint is in reasonable condition it will not. Hope this helps.
