OK, guys. I feel obligated to add to the line of thought about gas tank
welding.
Although it's been a while, I used to live in a very modest home in
Topeka Kansas (sympathy welcomed) that was about 2 blocks from a
veritible mansion on a hill near Shunga Nunga Creek (that, too, is
true). HERE COMES MY POINT: the night that I stood in my yard with my
family watching the mansion burn like a pile of twigs you could feel the
heat. And, "yes," of course that was from the gas-tank welding that was
started on the owner's car just outside said estate's garage. Oh, the
stories of how careful he'd been.
What do I know -- except that I will never weld a gas tank. Full,
empty, whatever.
Any way, Mark: I also know that there is some multi-step program
available to clean and seal a gas tank -- if Fred Thomas is back in town
he may be able to offer better details than I in that regard. I believe
that he performed this on his 59 TR3A.
