Welding Tank

(1/2) > >>

beveldrive:
Hi,
I have a spare K7 tank and want to smooth the top and fit a monza typr cap. Need to mig a piece across the aperture where the lockable flap now sits. Any tips on ensuring the tank is safe to weld  :-\

It hasn't had fuel in for yonks and seems free of fumes. What to do??

Steve

Seamus:
They used to fill the tank with water to purge any fumes, dry out in an oven prior to welding, but I guess if there has'nt been fuel in there for a long time a session in an oven would chase out any dregs.

Cheers

Seamus

beveldrive:
Thanks Seamus, that sounds good to me buddy.
Steve.

Bryanj:
If you are using mig you can always fill it with the inert gas

beveldrive:
Now that is an excellent idea!
