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?? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) ...Lots of mostly good Ideas , have been submitted. Consider this approach...!. REMOVE GAS TANK...blow out the disconnected fuel lines, shop air.....allow to air dry a day or two....2. move front and rear fuel lines , out of the way as far as possable. cover and wrap them with large soaking wet towels....3. have a FIRE EXTINGUISHER close by, and a hose with nozzle preadjusted for a spray pattern.(to cool , burning materials,and smother flames).
