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?? |

I knew a fella years back that had his face permanently rearranged by a gas tank explosion casued by his welding on it. This is somewhere where I don't screw around with half measures. All the "tricks" to make it safe might work, but you only have to get it wrong once.
I've got enuff explosive/inflammable shittage in my shop that if something ever set it off, half the neighborhood might go up.....and I like my neighbors. Liquid gasoline has a mass of vapors coming off it......to think otherwise will get you in deep shit. |

I agree.....even though he's NOT welding on the actual tank as Chris so lightly pointed out in my comment.... BTW, do the neighbors LIKE YOU? |
