Sure it works, as well as the redneck-engineering method of corking up the 
drain holes and pouring a quart or two of old drain oil in the rails to fill 
'em up, then pulling the cork(s) and letting it drip dry. Practically 
speaking, once the drains are drilled, little if any more rust will accumulate in 
there regardless. It's standing water over months at a time that does the 
damage. Good luck- J Deryke
