The safe and simple way to remove rusted nuts near fuel lines
Share:

Removing rusted and corroded nuts is hard enough, but when they are close to fuel lines the task can not only be more difficult, but also much more dangerous. Here reaching for the oxy-acetylene torch is not an option, but there is a simple solution in the shape of the Mini-Ductor Induction Heater & Flameless Torch from Induction Innovations. 


Using an open flame in a confined space, close to a fuel line is not only dangerous for the technician, but also vastly increases the consequential fire risk, with plastics, wiring and trim all at risk. However, innovative Mini-Ductor Induction Heating tool range uses Invisible Heat to quickly heat ferrous and some non-ferrous metal, providing a safe and viable alternative to using a naked flame. Some parts can be also be reused as the Invisible Heat is localised on the part and not the surrounding area, with less collateral damage.

The Mini-Ductor is supplied with 3 bendable coils, ideal for getting into awkward areas and is thin enough to wrap round the nut and heat it in seconds for easy removal. For example, a 3/4″ nut is heated red hot in 15 seconds. The heat expands the nut and breaks down any corrosion bonds.
