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?? |

Personally, I wouldn't weld on a gas tank, even taking the proper precautions. Welding a trunk floor with a gas tank nearby though, no problem with the proper precautions. Big difference.

I was referring to how I approach the problem. You are welcome to do it any way you like...as often as possible. I know guys that say, regarding fumes, "if you can breathe in it you can smoke in it". Darwin will always be standing by to help should things go awry.
