Gas tank fab...

[80proZ]

I'm not sure i would use a spool gun for a gas tank.Unless you really know how to weld with one, they can be very inconsistant,especially on thinner materials.I would surely recommend you TIG it.

Well I can't afford a TIG welder, and I didn't spend all kinds of money on school to learn how to weld to be afraid of it.

There's nothing magical about a TIG welder, it doesn't make a better weld. It just gives you a lot more control.

As long as I pressure test it, it should be fine, and I'll be able to see if I got penetration inside and out until I weld on the last panel so... Not a big deal.

About 3 years ago I stumbled across your page for fabricating your fuel tank. I bookmarked the page and then a short time later lost the bookmark in a hard drive crash. I've been searching since for your page and couldn't remember where I linked from. I stumbled onto this forum today linked from a thread on stangnet. I'm into fabricating what I can and was browsing this section of the forums and can't believe I stumbled into it again. How strange is that?
