Welding on a fuel tank (jerry can)
Ignoramus25468 fired this volley in
:
It is not a purge, the jerry can will have water filling it almost to
the level of where I will do welding.
Iggy, fill it half-way full of hot water, add about a 1/4 cup of good
liquid detergent, and WASH it out. Then rinse, and see if you still
smell fuel. If so, repeat until it's only a hint of a smell.
THEN fill it almost full of water, and leave the cap off while welding,
so that if there is a small explosion in that tiny volume, it will vent
harmlessly.
I modify acetone and racing fuel drums thus all the time.
