Oh, that and I found the hole in the old tank. Might try to weld it up.

What kind of welder you got?
Lincoln 140? I can't remember. It's still at my brother in law's house. I haven't picked it up yet.
You’re joking right?

After I fix it I can use it for my extra tank on the RH side.

Good call.
Just remember to fill it with fresh gas first so it displaces all the oxygen and gives you a good weld penetration.

Diesel actually does a better job of displacing the oxygen
We used to neutralize them with exhaust.... run a hose into it and it'll displace the vapor. Pops fixed a ton of them that way, but i would drill a hole in it, get a penny, and solder it rather than try and weld it.
This tank is not getting fixed. They are $82 my cost at work. Was just messing with @Fastereddie
Save yourself the hassle and throw that old shitty tank away.

You can get new tanks at your work?
Yeah, we are Keystone Automotive/Goodmark Industries.
Just now seeing this! Love seeing these old crusty ones come back to life. Definitely sub’d. Give that thing a bath!
It’s headed for a bath in the morning cause the tank is in and done!
