Re: Hope this works! Gas tank repair.
Doods, this is an old thread, but . . . nothing says a quick clean up with media would "blast" a hole through it! For that matter, neither would a muratic acid bath. Do we ever consider that we just overthink almost all of this? Lets face it, if the guy breaks it, he fixes it - so what? Also, the firebomb comment really bothers me, as if 1) the tank is exposed as it is when under the rear like in a Blazer or Burban where it is much more likely to be damaged instead inside a steel cage cab and 2) raw fuel rarely burns, it is too rich or too lean! To reach the LEL or LFL (too lean) of gasoline is 1/4%, the upper explosive limit or UEL of 7.8% (too rich). Honestly, where is the risk? At least your truck isn't as likely to have a frozen fuel line and plug at the tank. Once in awhile, shouldn't we just say, "C'mon man"?
