Default Unnecessary word of caution

Hi All

Please anyone considering repair of fuel tank, remember the risk of fire or explosion.

The tank I recently opened with plasma torch was known to have been open (no cap) to the elements for many years. Had there been any hint of fuel, probably would have filled the tank with water while cutting.

I know that people who have responded to this thread are well aware of the risks, I'm more concerned with people doing a web search on fuel tank repair not being aware of the hazards.

Cheers Phil
