what sucks about this is he is lucky enough to get away with it. But putting it on the net like that, may just get some poor soul killed, cause it worked on you tube!!!

Uh     This is wrong on so many levels I would not know where to start from a safety procedure standpoint....but it would be about a page and half long if carefully edited.     The gene pool needs some chlorine to be sure ......but sometimes we get lucky and small bits of it eventually take care of itself.

I have used the oxygen displacement "trick" before when making repairs to tanks for flammable contents.    But I can tell you THAT IS NOT how it is done.   

If stupidity was painful, intensive care would be totally overwhelmed with patients and the rest of us would have a much smoother world to live in.

Oh well

Respectfully - even if some don't think so! ;)

First thing I thought when I saw this was this guy has got to be a complete  dumba**
Parent - By Cumminsguy71 (*****) Date 11-26-2009 13:05
I think this guy needs help! What a moron! As it was said some idiot is gonna see this and do it and boom! This guy should be a dare devil. The way he had the car up. One thing I learned as a mechanic in the heavy equipment industry, never trust hydraulics. One little valve holding up the car. Knew a guy who trusted hydraulics once on a 988 Cat. Pulled out the wrong valve and the loader frame came down and squashed him like a bug, literally, the big splat.

Well, I won't be doing this repair, not so lazy that I can't take out a gas tank and remove the gas. This fella is more concerned with slopping around with his beer apparently than working. This is why stupid people die, one day he'll be gone and hopefully I can hear about it on the news!!

Same type of guy that drives drunk,works with no safety equipment,no respect for his or anyone else's safety just not wired right. Hopefully he isn't reproducing. PS. GO STEELERS

that guy has had videos on you tube for a long time. they do some stupid crazy stuff on his farm. might not be the smartest but his videos are funny to watch

contained gasoline like that is actually not the end of the world, even at the perfect air/fuel mixture ratio inside a gas tank, the pressure is never big enough to explode the gas tank. make a loud bang? yes. explode: no.

Stupid? definitely.  very easy to catch the fuel line on fire and set the whole car ablaze. but only in movies do car gas tank explodes.
Parent - - By Metarinka (****) Date 12-02-2009 03:08
well my face is a little red.

the last one is from a movie.

The only reason I bring doubt is because they expressly design gas tanks not to explode. I had a lengthy talk about this with a few automotive engineers in the safety group. On top of that inside a gas tank there's not enough oxygen to make a big boom. A compromised tank such as in a bad accident will go up, but 1 gallon of gas left in a busted tank won't .
I would never recommend welding on a gas tank like that.  but it's a myth that one little spark will turn a car gas tank into  a mushroom cloud.  if it catches fire it can quickly set the whole car ablaze.  

for instance

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgAaj3DkA-w&feature=related  before the guy pulled the nozzle out of the container the first was far from a mushroom cloud.

In fact the right thing to do if your car catches on fire is to leave the nozzle inside

but I'll repeat it's pretty stupid to weld on a gas tank like that.

For a good explosion it takes an air/gasoline ratio of 13:1.
This is a little gas to a lot of air. The nearly empty tank will make the bigest bang, but if there is a lot of gas, there will be more fire.
