Re: [Chrysler300] New question on fuel tank sending units

["Michael Reed" <mrreed@xxxxxxxxx>]

At the oil jobbership I mananged in the 60's and 70's we had 20,000 gallon above-ground gasoline tanks cleaned out (by a man on the inside) and welded with nothing but a blower ventilating them.

  >The stories of fire and explosion of volatile fuel tanks are
  many and true.

  Years ago when they used to have a tech trailer at the US
  Nationals I watched several fuel tanks be serviced.

  There used to be a common area set aside for the Tech Service, it
  was provided as a service for the racers that couldn't bring the
  tools needed for uncommon repairs or modifications while at the
  drags. They used a squirrllcage blower to force air thru a 3"
  garage exhaust hose, stuck the open end of the hose into the fuel
  tanks and pushed so much air thru the tank that the A/F ratio
  never had a chance to even toy with combustionibility.

  I think there was a complete air change every 15 seconds or less
  inside the tanks being repaired, and this included aluminum
  alky/nitromethane tanks.
