While there are actually three types of rust, the most commonly seen rust you will see in the tank is red rust. This rust is the result of oxidation, which results from iron, steel, or another type of metal coming into contact with water and oxygen over time. Years of condensation and water exposure to the bolts in your tank have caused rust to form. If you have opened your toilet tank recently and noticed two balls of rust around your toilet tank bolts, this is what we are talking about. Most of these bolts are of standard quality and made from simple metals that are susceptible to rusting. The inside of your toilet tank is not the easiest environment for an average bolt to live in, and it only makes sense that rust would accumulate over time. Also, even if you do not see problems yet, you will likely see them in the near future. The rust will continue to add up over time and can make the replacement process even more difficult. When you notice your tank bolts are rusted, especially if there is a significant amount of rust, you may want to consider replacing the bolts. Rust is naturally caused because of the constant water that is in contact with the bolts. But why do toilet bolts rust at all?Īfter toilets have been in place for some time, the natural environment of the tank will lead to corrosion. This is not only unattractive, but it can also lead to leaks.
Over time, you may find that these look kind of gross from the rust built up on the submerged bolts. You can see the whole ad on craigslist, even though we’d understand if you skipped it.If you’ve ever lifted the lid on your toilet bowl tank, you’ve seen the two large nuts and bolts that secure that tank to the bowl. The exterior is pretty beaten down with the bodywork dented up front, the paint looking scorched as hell and all those wooden bits that make it look as if it could be listed in the real estate section if it got rid of the wheels. If you’re going for that homeless look, then this is the car for you. If you bought this, you’d need to have it fumigated before venturing inside. What it also has and it doesn’t say in the description (even though the pictures make it quite obvious) is tons of dirt, filth and most certainly germs, bacteria and fungi.
It has a stove, a sink, a heater, new chairs up front and seatbelt-equipped rear bench with an extra removable rear-facing seat. The owner doesn’t say why he wants to part with Vermont, but given his trade options (Ford F-250 Flatbed or “ something like mini homeish, school bus”), we’d guess his family has outgrown the space provided by Vermont and needs something bigger.Īccording to the description, Vermont can sleep up to four individuals, presumably thanks to that pop-up tent on the top.
In this case, it’s Vermont (not sure if the “lol” inserted afterwards is part of the name or not, but considering how serious the seller is about his car, we’d assume it’s not). The poor thing looks like it ended up in the hands of a madman, the kind of person who, if he were a plastic surgeon, would put chicken wings instead of arms on a patient because it would “ get lot of looks.” That’s how he defends advertises his choice of putting a wooden door on the side of the van, probably complete with hinges that screak.Īs is the case with all such abominations, it even has a name. Take this delusional owner of what was once a Volkswagen Vanagon (Transporter T3 van).
