G'day All,
Please explain to me how waving a torch over the top of the filler point is in any way safer/ less explosive or dangerous than the actual welding process?! If the thing goes off you're only very slightly better off being at arms length from the thing as opposed to standing over it!
I don't think we should be posting stuff here that in any way encourages readers to start mucking around trying to weld repair tanks. It should not be done by anyone who doesn't have PROPER training in such things. People have been KILLED doing this!
Similarly I've long since banned people at work taking old 44gal drums home (we get bulk oil in them and often they are then used to store fuel) as there is a fair chance someone will try opening up one to make a .....whatever. Same thing. People have been killed doing this!
