Re: [Chevelle-List] Gas Tank for '67 Chevelle

Josh, I must take issue with your reference to "find a welder stupid enough". Anyone with common sense knows that welding on a gas tank can be safely done as long as the tank is empty and full of an inert gas, such as helium or argon. For an explosion to occur, you need oxygen, and filling the tank with the inert gas will displace all of the oxygen, preventing you from being "blown across the room". That being said, I would also just replace my gas tank, because the innards are thirty something years old, who know what kinda crap is floating around in there. Take it easy.   Dan McIntosh 65 Malibu ----- Original Message ----- From: Josh Campbell To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 19, 2002 6:41 AM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] Gas Tank for '67 Chevelle Naw..... go ahead weld the tank, it'll be fine :) it won't hurt........ long!! Ha!! Seriously though you can have them repaired if you can find a welder stupid enough, but the best thing is to just go ahead and replace it. Josh  "Richard M.

It looks like there was a repair made to the tank long before I bought it, and for some reason the repair started leaking this week. Any thoughts on repairing vs. replacing the tank?
