Brass bolts do not rust and the washers should be on the outside of the tank, not in the water. : I install new toilet tank bolts and within weeks there is a substantial rust buildup on the bolt heads inside the toilet tank. I'm using the recommended brass parts with stainless steel washers, but the rust builds up anyway. : The rust builds quickly and builds a pile that is taller than the bolt head in a month. : What is causing this?
