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?? |

Pull the tank and plug the lines, why take a chance of ending up in a burn unit. Gas and sparks don't mix. Just ask the guy who tried to look in his gas tank to see how much gas was left and used a match.
