Another trick that I've heard about but never witnessed is called 'pressing up' the tank, whereby you fill it with water so that the fuel is pressed up to the top of the tank, and then you weld so that the water gets heated and not the fuel. How do you keep the water leaking out of the break from mucking up your welding? I don't know...

Torch? Fuel tank welding is rather tricky. I've done it. The secret ingredient is a lawnmower putting away filling the tank with non-oxygen, and keeping it that way. I don't really recommend it. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
