Then again, my uncle used to go round the world demonstrating the powers
of methane for a gas company- I kid ye not.... strange the jobs some peop=
le
have.
His party piece was to fill a treacle/syrup tin with a push-on lid full
of methane, pierce the top, light the gas and run. It certainly woke peop=
le
up when the tin exploded (methanology is not that exciting otherwise).
B
ps Does anyone else think that welding a full fuel tank of petrol is slig=
htly
less dangerous than an almost empty (ie 50/50 air/fuel mix)..... NOT THAT=

I AM SUGGESTING ANYONE TRY THIS!!! I'm just interested in the probabiliti=
es/theory.
I'd feel uneasy filling the tank with exhaust fumes before welding. I've
been near too many cars where you can smell the unburnt petrol. CO2 or no=

CO2, I'd be uneasy about doing any welding near that.....
