They won't fit through the loft hatch. What is the best way to cut them up?
I don't fancy doing it with a hack saw! I have a 9" grinder with some thin
metal cutting disks. I also have a cheap jigsaw and some metal blades (I
think).

I'm guessing the grinder is easiest and fastest. How safe is it to cut up
the tanks with an electric grinder in the loft space (sparks)? Is it viable
to cut it up with a jigsaw?

Any advice very much appreciated. Thanks.


Been recently discussed here. Enter the following in google.

group:uk.d-i-y how to cut up a metal water tank?

Thanks. I don't know how I missed that. I liked the suggested fire
precautions:

Wouldn't using anything electric create quite a lot of heat and shards
of hot metal?

Not if you keep it full of water while cutting it up. g
