ok, I did the passenger side floor pan today after I got off work, before sundown(need more lights in the garage), removed all the tar(about 2 1/2 hours, a heat gun and a putty knife)
there is some funky "glue" looking stuff under the tar paper... what gets this off? aircraft paint stripper did nothing to it... there is a little rust along the horizontal support... where the tar met the weld... the area is very small, and doesn't extend "up" onto the cross piece... how should I fix this? I'm thinking of rust killer, and then weld in a little angle-piece for extra support... is this ok, or do I need to cut all of this and weld in a new piece ? here are a few pics, there are more in the BLOG, please give me your opinions...

Good question. Propane in a full bottle or tank is liquid. The vapor pressure of the vapor which forms at the top as the bottle absorbs heat is what pushes the gaseous propane out of the bottle. When inverted does gas continue to come out of the torch burner? If so, could the liquid propane being pushed from the tank to the torch burner creates a fuel/air mixture that is too rich to burn? Or, if no flow, I wonder if there is some sort of check valve device that prevents liquid from being forced out when the bottle is inverted? |
