Braindead on two counts wood props and welding the bleeding tank in situ.


Well as you say the wood prop are a dead giveaway groan. However welding a
petrol tank (in situ or not) is a dodgy task. AFAIK it's even more dangerous
when the tank is empty - as it's the petrol vapour that's explosive. I
think the
tank should be filled with water - again afaik. Amazing pic anyway.


Not in the UK, is it

There are places in this world where people pay less attention to health
and safety than over here ... life goes on

Nothing special to most of the so called 3rd world
