Johan Bornman Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 In the first picture the welding didn't go wrong. It was a good bead with no burn-throughs and no swallow nest. It just wasn't as neat as the second picture. I suspect the first job was done by acetylene torch and second by TIG or MIG. Both will be equally strong but the latter has more commercial value thanks to aesthetics.

Jaws677 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 What precautions have to be taken when welding on fuel vessels?

Overlord Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 What precautions have to be taken when welding on fuel vessels? It's called defuming. Depending on the fuel that was in the tank. Diesel tanks can be welded without any defuming. As fuel tankers have diesel and petrol in the tanks defuming is the safe way to go to prevent problems. Welding a dirty tanks though does have its problems as is not advised.
