Ignornat questions but..
When welding in the front trunk A.C. hole is it safe not to pull the gas tank? Full tank gas better? When welding in the engine compartment (shelf below battery where fuel lines have to be disconnected as they pass through that shelf) what do you do with open fuel lines, cap them? wet towel? Engine will be pulled so I could not just leave them connected unitl I finished?? I have no problem smoking around gas just welding is a little hot spark?? |

throw a big wet towel over the lines and keep them away from where your gonna weld and you'll be fine.

Thanks! liquid gasoline is not all that dangerous.... but the vapor is! just protect anything that you don't want splattered with welding sparks and that should have some flammable vapor, liquid or material. if yer gonna weld on the fire wall ya might wanna take the back pad out of the passeger compartment.
