There was a welding shop in the neighborhood that would do small jobs for 
10 bucks.  Gas tanks were double the price.  He'd fill the tank with water 
and weld pinholes with oxy/acetylene.  I think the trick is to weld in the 
open rather than in the service pit.

Sorry, I really liked Randall's joke.
