RE: hole in gast tank

["Earl H. " <earlh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don's reply regarding running exhaust thru a tank when welding or 
soldering is good, but my solution has always been to put some 
dry ice in the tank when welding a tank. Of course that is after 
a complete cleaning. Learned that from a mechanic older than 
both Don and I... >;-)

You simply cannot be too careful with an "empty" gas tank. Years ago, a
mechanic friend of mine was going to weld a patch over a hole in a gas tank.
He drained it, then put it in the car wash adjoined to the shop and ran soap
spray through it for at least 6 hours. He laid the tank on his bench and the
second he put the torch over it, the thing exploded. Fortunately for him,
the tank went straight into, and I mean IN TO the ceiling of the shop. Be
very careful. /Butch / Ferndale, WA

Subject: hole in gast tank



Hey all.  The gas tank in my 65 Sport Fury has a hole in it.  Its about 3/4
of the way up, so when I drove it before dropping it off for an extended
stay at the body shop, I could only fill it about half way.  Its coming
around the time for it to come out of the body shop now, and I need to fix
the tank.  So my questions are:
1) if you had this problem, did you fix or replace?
2) where can I find replacement fuel tanks without foraging through junk
yards. Derek
