Welding a gas tank
Anyone have any experience welding gas tanks? Mine has separated slightly at the pinch seam. I think its just stamped steel. I tried JB weld and epoxy the ---- out of it but it still drips when its full. So, can I do this in the car without A) causing a fire or B) causing an explosion? Or is it just better to remove it?

DO NOT WELD YOUR TANK ON THE CAR.
remove tank, empty fuel, let it sit for a couple days, use a hose to connect an exhaust from another car into the tank, and let it fill with exhaust, then weld only when the exhaust is running through the tank to displace all oxygen inside the tank.
