Ignornat questions but..
When welding in the front trunk A.C. hole is it safe not to pull the gas tank? Full tank gas better? When welding in the engine compartment (shelf below battery where fuel lines have to be disconnected as they pass through that shelf) what do you do with open fuel lines, cap them? wet towel? Engine will be pulled so I could not just leave them connected unitl I finished?? I have no problem smoking around gas just welding is a little hot spark?? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Rand's advice is best. The chance of explosion is minimal working near the tank or lines unless confined vapors are sparked. At this time of year the only place where significant vapor concentration might exist is inside the tank itself. |
