Anyone have a band saw to cut a fuel tank?

The tank I was working on was full of water. It still exploded. There is no way I will ever, weld, solder, braze etc. on a used fuel tank. It is akin to stuffing a riding mower with tannerite, you are just asking for it...
I have done a few tanks here at home. One was a 1974 Yamaha and it came out fine. The instructions actually say don't remove all the rust. The reason is that the sealer needs a rough surface to adhere properly. Another tank was a 7 HP Wisconsin motor that runs my compressor. Worked great.

I think the only way to safely weld a tank is if you have a special setup with inert gases in an enclosure for safety and robotics. It would totally suck to loose a hand or an eye.


I used this stuff...
