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...
Pressing up == blowing up! Well, with water backing the weld location you'd probably never get enough heat into there to actually weld metal, or even bring fuel vapors to ignition. (There is such a thing as underwater welding, but I don't think it's for the common man!) -- 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
