If you dispense your beer with a party pump, which uses air instead of CO2 to drive the beer, you can only expect your beer to remain fresh for 8-12 hours. If you keep your kegs warm, and drive them with CO2 through a jockey box or other faucet, they will most likely last a couple of months.
Rust by definition is the result of the oxidation of metal. One engine manufacturer refers to the process of corrosion in aircraft engines as galvanic corrosion which is a type of corrosion caused by dissimilar metals being in close proximity of each other. In this process an electrolyte such as water also needs to be present. Almost all metals will oxidize or corrode.
The reason carburettor ice causes a drop in rpm and a rough engine is because of an excessive rich mixture. The addition of hot air by the carburettor heat enriches the mixture even more and causes an additional drop in rpm. Leaning the mixture is one viable option in trying to improve the engine performance.
