ERPS. Electronic Rust Prevention System???
Discussion
Ok we all know that our chassis are one of the major areas to protect. Anyone using or know anything about these.

I know it's in Australia but I'm sure with a bit of digging we can find one closer to home.
Also on a land rover forum they are talking about a zinc sacrificial node bolt fitted to a chassis. Again any thoughts if this would work to protect our cars if only to delay the inevitable??

IMHO, an expensive 'bolt-on' to do what regular inspection and painting does.
Fine in the marine industry, where the steel is immersed in the electrolyte (sea water) continuously. And, you likely have 2 dissimilar metals in close proximity - phosphor-bronze prop' and steel hull.
A steel backbone chassis doesn't really have metals that are so different.
In 16 years in the merchant navy, I never sailed on a ship with impressed current cathodic protection..they all relied on a good paint system to stop corrosion.

You have confirms my thoughts. I am aware in the past central hearing systems use to have them and again it was submerged in the copper cylinders.
Cheers. Carry on
