tank vent leaks

[skids]

still a lot of work, and you have to get all the gas flushed out of the tank before doing this so you don't blow yourself up!

I realize that brazing or soldering is not the same as welding, but welding on empty, even "cleaned" tanks causes explosions.

fill it with water

and no explosions.

I have found that after emptying the tank and letting it dry out I put a couple cups of denatured alcohol in it and shake it around good for a bit, dump it out and them put eater in it and shake then dry. Most of the time you can't smell gas at that point if you can do it again.

I have never had a problem after doing that, never had one light/explode on me.
