-> you have both welding equipment and a solvent tank (parts cleaner) in
-> your shop, how much space do you keep between them? Are fumes a
-> concern?
I have about eight feet, but I close the lid on the solvent tank when
welding or grinding. Actually, I keep it closed unless I'm actually
using the tank.
I went down to the fire department and asked if the city fire inspector
could take a look at my shop layout, since I have *lots* of flammables
and equipment in there. He followed me home, said I was okay, but had
some suggestions along the "better safe than sorry" line, most of which
I implemented immediately.
Hey, these guys can only hang around the firehouse watching "Wheel Of
Fortune" reruns so many times before they go buggy; do 'em a favor and
have one take a look at your workspace. Your tax dollars are already
paying for their expertise whether you take advantage of it or not.
