Diesel is not an effective rust remover. While it may help to lubricate and loosen rusted parts, it does not contain the necessary chemical properties to dissolve rust effectively. Instead, dedicated rust removers or products containing acids or phosphoric acid are recommended for treating rust. Additionally, using diesel for rust removal can pose environmental and safety risks due to its flammability and toxicity.
Salt water can be considered as a catalyst in the reaction of forming aluminium oxide.

Rust eats away critical parts of the car so that it is no longer safe to use.
