The one and only time I tried to vacuum the vapors out, I had a nice flame thrower, but sadly it ate my shop vac!

Sent: Mar 24, 2010 10:58 PM i have a friend who has welded several tanks. i thought i would have to fix one so asked him his way. he takes a shop-vac and sucks out, and an air line from the compressor going in the sending unit hole. then, after it "smells" clean, he puts his extra argon tank with an old hose from an old welder pumping argon into it while he welds it. i dont know why it wouldnt be ok to just leave either the shop-vac, or an air line blowing in while you weld. it takes a certain amount of fumes to be flamable, and once they are gone, there aint enough left. dave stohler www.picasaweb.google.com/das24rules _______________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail has tools for the New Busy.
