How not to weld a fuel tank... No Darwin award today, Jesus died for his retardation.
(files.catbox.moe)
Fuel still in tank... can be OK. Grey zone.
No constant argon flow into the tank... can be OK if you put rags in every hole, never a plug or cap.
Welding on top (flat hand) with an obvious air pocket full of fumes & residue on the surface inside... complete & total retardation.
He's actually lucky it was at least half full, it limited the amount of fumes inside.
