Shop Vac Hose?
May look silly, but would reduce the chance of a static spark or the odd spark from the blower's motor setting off whatever fumes might be in the tank. I'm glad I saw the photo, as I wouldn't have considered this. What are the chances? Slim to none.
But then again, in my "Gas Pumper" days, I did have a static spark ignite the fumes while I was filling up some guys car. (Glad I had an extra pair of uniform pants in my locker afterwards.)
Looking back... how the heck did I ever live this long? I aughta kill myself now, before I do something REALLY stupid. And it'd be my luck that there'd be a lot of people watching, too!"Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor, not a mechanic!' ('Bones' McCoy)Comment

Now I know somebody here had this signiture:
Injection's nice, but I'd rather be blown
....but I dont think it reffered to the gas tanks too....

Pretty nifty idea. Beats the ol' air compressor and then letting it sit open with no petcks or cap for a month. Then tapeing off all openings. ( This was for shipping purposes ). Looks like this idea might just catch on. I'll try it next time I need to recream the inside of a tank.

If I'm going to weld or grind/sand on them, OR epoxy them (google search Caswells epoxy . . . MUCH better then kreem), I remove the petcock(s)/filler and blast 'em out at the car wash. Poof! Instant removal of fumes, rust, gunge (technical term) and debris.
If shipping or sitting a while after that washing out, a quick shot of wd-40 or chain-lube to prevent rust.
Careful with these things folks.Comment
