Must say I did not envy you in those tents, I had the "Blown Air" heating on and was very warm

If i ever need to cut or weld into something like a gas cylinder of fuel tank i Fill it up with water until it overflows to purge out any dodgy gasses before doing welding or grinding : !

I would not have done the deed yet, however I can see why they did, he(we) have had some very bad luck , but some of his substitutions and decision making leaves a lot to be desired.

Thats a nice job Simon23, its amazing what can be done with an old gas bottle. I'm thinking of buying one of those cheap welders from Aldi and having a go myself with a larger bottle. Looks good mate.
