[@mikeharris3197]

From an old gas tank repair technician.. the best way to make sure nothing blows up when welding a gas tank. Just run a vacuum lose from a running vehicle’ exhaust to the tank. The exhaust allows you to weld without any fires or explosion

[@mikerhodeback9636]

Yep done it many times..cumbustion needs an oxidizer

[@kojak-ex3pl]

First thing I Said done it many a Time

[@member57]

Not the worst, the most realistic on KZbin. These are all problems associated with modified and customized vehicles. That's why we love them.

[@charlesm8834]

since i've found Puddin, Mortske, Fab Rats, Matt's off-road Recovery, Vice Grip Garage, Casey Ladelle AYO Fishing and a couple others i've not watched a single TV show or movie you guys are the Stars of today

[@jdfmfb03]

All of those👍 I will have to try AYO Fishing since I got rid of the Arrington brothers channels 👎

[@Baystateboy125]

I only watch regular TV for Sports and nothing else.

[@Kevin-tb4tc]

@@jdfmfb03 AYO is one of my favorites, definitely need to check his channel

[@Kevin-tb4tc]

Totally with you, great taste!

[@DanDan-yy8sf]

What's "TV show" mean ?

[@susquatchgarage7824]

Thanks for channel 2, twice as much Puddin never hurt no one 😂

[@sideshow45]

Except folks with diabeetus

[@michaelpendarvis7814]

I'm waiting on Puddin3, never too muck Puddin!!

[@paulheart5178]

You don't have to fill the tank with water to weld it. If you drain it and hook up a hose to the exhaust of a car and put the other end of the hose into the tank and let the car run for a while it will make it safe to weld. Try it. I did it that way for years and never had an issue. It was something my Dad showed me when I was 11 years old.

[@Boldaslove71]

I was going to suggest an inert gas like nitrogen (we use it when welding on large oil filled transformers), but the exhaust is probably insert and definitely available.

[@DarinPearman]

Put some thick rubber washers under the tops of the straps where the retaining bolts go through when you re-install the tank. They should at least absorb some of the vibration. Also, find an old inner tube and cut it into strips to go between the tank and the support that you built, and also between the new straps and the tank.

[@madmex2k]

Mud Flaps.

[@bobadam7021]

Caught that too. There should definitely be some rubber between the straps and the tank. Road dirt is going to act like an abrasive disk and it will eventually wear through the tank. Maybe not soon, but eventually.

[@subzeromjc]

This

[@jemtec1]

Was thinking the same!

[@elishmittywerminghanjensen1264]

That mouse parkour was 100% the best extra I have ever seen on any channel.

[@bobadam7021]

Mortske saying Lubey Doobey, Pudding saying Easy Peasy, such a bromance that they're starting to talk like one another.

[@justin-sane713]

My Dad taught me like his Dad taught him, how to weld a gas tank. You clean it out the best you can then use a hose (vaccum hose works good) in the exhaust of another vehicle in the fuel tank. Run it for a few minutes. Leave it in if you can while you weld it. Remember the longer you run the vehicle the hotter the exhaust gets and it will melt the hose. It’s the fumes that will ignite even with water in the tank unless it is completely full. Glad you made it through it without an issue! Keep up the good content!

[@CodyRPierce]

The look of utter fear when the hammer snapped was something no one could fake for television. Im glad it didn't take out the door.

[@mrjoshua17]

I like watching you and Slick work together.

[@kennethsonier1766]

Puddins reality TV, in reality things go wrong and sometimes you make mistakes, you fix the problem and you keep on trucking. Keep up the great work guys 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@apakinc8734]

Puddin, I used to weld Gas and Diesel tanks using either Mig or Tig. Some were steel, Stainless, Aluminum and sometimes Alloys. Steaming out (if possible) the tanks cleaned a lot of the junk out of them. The key to welding the tanks was to fill them with a non flammable or inert gas. Depending on the welding process used the gas could be CO2, Argon mix or combinations of them. A good and easy substitute is to fill the tank with Dry Ice pieces. I have also welded, Brazed and Soldered small engine tanks by simply piping engine exhaust into the tank. It certainly reduces the risk of an accident.

[@MUSEMENT]

After the slug hammer adjustments made on the old gas tank, I had to laugh when you ask if it was leaking. One of the reason i really like watching your channel.

[@cmleoj]

With the UHaul door covering up all the vehicles at your new shop, your new place looks like a golf course. Nice place!

[@jasonmckinney77]

The title is priceless

[@PuddinsFabShop2]

Someone appreciates my comedy 🔥👊🏻😂

[@ronniehenley2564]

Need to add rubber isolators between mounting points and frame to keep the vibration out of the tank

[@wiggyjones]

I have vented my frustration in a similar fashion. I appreciate you, Puddin.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Puddin for all. Can’t wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab on. Weld on. Keep Making. God bless.

[@dfusit]

Sometimes you’re the bug, sometimes you’re the windshield. We’ve all had days like that but I appreciate your positive attitude and powering through adversity to get the job done.

[@carlmerenda5170]

All you have to do is run an exhaust in the gas tank and it neutralizes the gas fumes in the tank so you can weld it safely, use a lawn mower or edger, believe me it works

[@R5104-t6c]

The best damn channel on KZbin. Keep the up the good work and the great humor......

[@rackernack8186]

Thanks for sharing the "real" side of repairs with a healthy dose of humor!

[@madmex2k]

Isolate that tank from the metal mounts with some mud flap lined along those frames. Best anti-leak prevention ever. Another great video! Channel 2 kickin ass!

[@spankyham9607]

This is how I check my welds on exhaust tubing I am welding. Weld, fill the tube with water, and let it show me every little tiny hole I missed. Works pretty well. I think your alternator is reading high voltage because there is no load on it.

[@00nutt]

Man you just don't know what you do for the KZbin community. The cutting up you do to put a smile on many people's faces means a lot. This morning my daughter had a seizure which scared the life out of me. Thank God the doctor found one of her meds was the culprit. But all I kept seeing in my head was the way I found her. So thank you for giving me a way to rest my head!!!!

[@steve062989]

I was wondering where the ole girl went. Glad to see Gertrude getting some love

[@thepinky9876]

love that slick50 is a regular now.. you guys work well together

[@brentking-gmailking2570]

Another good video Puddin. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.

[@edrussell7960]

Let Mr tell you, hammer therapy is a real thing. It will let out alot of stress. About 25 years ago I was stressed out super bad,I went to my garage grabbed a sledge hammer and a push mower pulled it into the back yard a went to swinging on it. Parts were flying off of it with every swing. After 5 minutes or so I picked up all the parts and tossed it all into the alley next to my trash can then went towards the house. Looking up my wife's standing there with the neighbors wife. She is telling her "Oh he just got some bad news" and the neighbor says "Well at least it was the mower!" I went inside for 10 minutes or so then decided to go see the damage now that I calmed down and when I get out there the mower was gone. Luckily I had 5 more mowers in my garage. (I used to rebuild junk mowers) and that was the best stress relief I ever had. I know it sounds childish, but I was in my early 20's then so its ok to be a bit childish.

[@MegaWildweasel]

for welding a gas tank we used to run car/truck exhaust gas in it for 15 mins and then go ahead and weld. (with it still with exhaust going in. )

[@jamesdearman814]

glad you found slick 50 - he's a good addition to the channel.

[@rocktoonzz]

Slick 50 is becoming a regular on the channel, I like it! He adds a good dynamic!

[@kambacktransam4840]

My friend owned a body shop and when he fixed gas tanks he would do 1 of 2 things depending on his mood. 1 he would empty the tank as much as plausible and throw a match in it as his foot held the tank down 2 he would hook the exhaust in to the tank and fill it with exhaust to replace the gas fumes. I knowing about the 2 methods would be across the street watching him.

[@MCLEO983]

I just love how you show the mistakes and the struggle. Its real. Life never goes as planned and I appreciate seeing you pivot so much. Gives me more to learn from :)

[@scottthorson1]

Found me a nice 18 wheeler mudflap the other day and it reminded me of something my auto shop teacher taught us. Always have rubber between the gas tank and the brackets. Basically.. Rubber mount the tank man! 🤣

[@weekendminitoystruckcarclu4632]

Alright more channel 2 fun. Keep em coming puddin......

[@jfication55]

I have been watching for a while. Have watched and like other auto channels but you are very entertaining and educational. Love watching your channel. I'm almost 70 and back in the 60s I had to work on my own car. I would go for some of your merchandise but being on social security I can't afford it and I don't think your shirts would look good on an old fart like me. Despite that I would like to thank you for the entertainment and most of all for your military service to our country. God speed to you and your family. The old guy. AL

[@anthonybarron3157]

Love watching some Puddins videos makes for a great day !!!

[@JusAscan]

We normally used argon purge after dumping gasoline and one water rinse. That way you get a nice weld both inside and outside.

[@klaw163]

Had a lot of laughs on this one 🤣. Loving these second channel videos, thanks for making them

[@Boomer_Sooner]

Some good ole 2nd channel greatness! Thanks Puddin💪

[@abcd-dr5xy]

Slick is that cool addition to the channel kind of neat having two guys talking and bsing

[@steve062989]

The old timers say to use exhaust from a running vehicle to purge out a gas tank you need to weld on, just slip a hose in the tailpipe of a car, leave it running and put the other end into the emptied and dried out fuel tank. I know its after the fact but thought I would share.

[@BigDadio1967]

I came to the comments to see if anyone else would give this pro-tip. Once the tank is warm from the exhaust, it is so full of CO, nothing in it can burn.

[@derekwalters6132]

Poor Slick here he thought he was gonna do a little fixin on the Luv only to find there was other plans. It was nice Gertrude got a little lovin of her own. She’s just being a little fussy seeing as she felt abandoned out at the new place. And as others said thanks for sharing the spots where you’re getting your butt kicked, every guy that’s spun a wrench on a vehicle knows exactly what you’re going through and taking the sledgehammer to that old tank not gonna lie I’d have done the same

[@dombutler7685]

All aboard the struggle bus, younger Puddin will be your driver today! You may have messed up with some of the construction details, don't matter though, you built a really cool truck and you're just making it better!

[@rendelawenzel239]

Yep after that third leak I woulda beat the hell outta that tank too!!!🤣🤣🤣thanks for keepin it real brother!

[@jamesfarmer3775]

Oh yeah. I try not to get that frustrated with stuff, but if I do, it's certainly not beyond me to grab Mr. 8# Sluggo and get real. I find my frustration level goes to 0 damn near instantly, and my humor factor goes to 9000 the very next second....😉

[@alangovan1852]

I love watching you and slick working together youse are so good and funny , it’s just getting better and better every episode keep it coming

[@neila2953]

Hello Puddin, I gas welded my petrol tank years ago. I just emptied the fuel out and then run the exhaust from another car through it (a non catalytic car). This killed the petrol fumes and I welded it without issue

[@kimberlywilliams9757]

😅🤣😂 You and Slick are priceless! That was a great video! As always, Thanks for sharing! 😁👍

[@lokeyracing3015]

Things I could do to that 2300... Start by setting the timing at 36 degrees... I've picked up so many little tricks to get performance out of them 2.3s after racing them 20+ years

[@williamleadingham6276]

that mushroom cloud jump scared me. as a welder myself i understand that fear all to well LOL

[@DanDan-yy8sf]

Not so much the gas as it is the vapors.

[@cheekymonkey444]

To be safe when welding a gas tank you flush several times and then you can back gas the tank with argon or CO2. Don't pressurize the tank, just displace any fumes with an inert gas. Leave one vent open.

[@adamstevens5422]

When you said, 'I'm going to weld this tank up, and I know it's going to break again....', I thought, come on Puddin', fix it right!' Then , out came the sledgehammer...🤣 priceless

[@philliprowe2656]

Pretty smart having a flip up pickup bed!easy access to the fuel tank and frame.

[@highwayman03]

Thanks for another great “real” video, the good the bad and the ugly all in one. Much better than watching the rubbish we have on UK television.

[@codyhenault4597]

Hell yeah puddin and keep having slick 50 with ya.

[@boduke2746]

Put two leads on the 40 volt alternator and you got an on-board welder. 👌 mint!

[@timothyargento8457]

Another good time watching you and slick thanks for the video

[@donaldhalls2189]

Sound's a lot like my week, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@Dagrond]

Thanks for showing us the real Pott County hammer time. The REAL fix.

[@heathcowboy2820]

I was a German car mechanic for 15 years I fixed a few fuel tanks on old VW‘s and older Mercedes the trick is to empty all the fuel out blow it out with gas hook you a hose to a car that is running fill the fuel tank with exhaust the CO2 from the exhaust will not allow an explosion or anything to catch fire if for some reason you do not get all the fuel out

[@stephenkingsley9602]

Called to repair a perforated motorcycle gas tank, I removed the welded tab, then SOLDERED it with a vacuum sucking the air out. Worked great!

[@ronphillips3204]

When I was in the military we had welding rods that you heat up the cracked piece with a common propane torch and use the rod to weld tight the crack. I recently saw a comparison video on project farm that showed those rods and that you can buy them at harbor freight. Just a thought.

[@fatboyfabs6796]

Great job man just keep being as real as you are buddy!!! And by the way really enjoy the humor between you and Slick 50

[@mlynch001]

When you started wailing on the tank with the sledge hammer, that confirmed that you are my long lost brother. That was almost as funny as the Great Courier Fire.

[@ollucky13]

This episode was hilarious! Puddin at his best :) Love the new vids with Slick, his hotrod is perfect

[@solomonlynn7456]

When I was a young man my Grandfather showed me how he welded gas tanks. He used compressed air until you couldn't smell any fumes. The danger here is the fumes are explosive but outdoors away from an ignition source and you. Then he parked another vehicle nearby and ran a hose from the exhaust pipe into the tank he wanted to weld. The theory being to displace enough oxygen that an explosion couldn't occur. I see a few problems with that theory but he died of old age so I can't say he was wrong. Personally, I use his method, but I substitute shield gas. Argon, CO2, etc, while welding. The advantage, in my mind, is being able to weld dry steel and not having to worry about getting rid of any water left in the tank that may start the corrosion process. I've had a few people tell me I'm nuts for doing it this way, but I welded my first with Grandpa when I was 12. I'm 50 now...

[@jamessaddoris8693]

I just got my yee-haul Christmas shirts for me and my old lady. Those things look sharper than a thumb tack in a hay stack!

[@robertwilliams2623]

Hey puddin thanks for getting hats back in stock . Got one

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Puddin :) also Slick fix and get lots fixing up together and Puddin Lol too!

[@nextchapter024]

For future builds, ever thought about onboard air, engine driven compressor bag set-ups

[@markgriffin4888]

Now all you have to do is find a replacement fuel tank for the '59 inner, a fuel tank for the Yee-hawl, plus a fuel tank for the Halfhaul and don't forget the Model A probably requires a fuel tank aswell

[@DanDan-yy8sf]

I quick story about fuel vapors. I was working up past latitude 68.4 at a Dew-Line camp located at Cape Hooper Nunavut, Canada where my crews task was to squeegee the floors inside several 65,000 gallon fuel-oil silo's into a sump to then be removed. Story goes that a group of Native Eskimo hunters were out on their 25" canoe style boats hunting seal & Norwell whales when bad weather had caused them to hold-out at Cape Hooper on the beach where this Dew-line ( Distant early warning ) camp was located, only the camp itself was not on the beach , it was up a 20 min vertical drive to 1400 feet before it plateaued. At any rate , during the raging weather that stranded them there, the Group of hunters came across the three 65,000 gallon fuel oil silo's and seeked shelter in one of them that was empty. They all climbed through the portal opening finally out of the severe weather. Can you guess what there downfall was? There was no remains, just red stained interior walls. I have pictures that show me trying to ignite 18- 45 gal drums of the pumped out fuel oil during a 40 mph cross wind with a lite oil soaked rag wrapped around a wood stake that I had to initially light inside the cab of 5 ton camp truck. With that burning rag on a stick , it took several minutes holding the flame directly in the raw fuel oil before it would stay burning. Just goes to show, it's not so much the fuel itself that causes combustion, it's the collection of itt's vapours. True story.

[@LobbyDaLobster]

14:04 - "YOU WON'T HURT ANYONE ANYMORE!!! YOU HEAR ME!!!!"

[@christophergreen2328]

Very funny video. The slow motion mouse running had me LMAO. You could put some bike intertubes between the tank and tank straps

[@jhalkoski]

hot tip for the next time you weld a used gas tank, use exhaust from your rig to blow out any remaining fumes in the tank. exhaust is inert and heaver than gas fumes

[@buckeyejim2989]

Put your largest pot county credit card in tank and other end in momma's tailpipe, since flammable gas has been replaced with non flammable gas, it's safe to weld on👍 Thanks for sharing Puddin

[@jergunsjunk]

Ive heard you can run a hose from the exhaust of a running towrolla and pump the gas tank that needs sparks on it full of the burnt horsetorques from the towrolla and that will make it safe it stick more metal to it. Science, i learnt this after I welded a gas tank full of water and got showered..

[@user-427.commodore]

Here we go again baby!

[@terryeustice5399]

Well this was interesting Puddin. Gas tank then alternator over charging killing battery. Air ride messed up. This was a lot for this video. Thanks for sharing. By the way Slick wanted his truck looked at! 🤣

[@Justme-jt1ef]

I'm about a little over a year into the build-up to my future "Will it run??!?" on my 69 GMC C5500. It ran good when I backed it in under the Mesquite tree. In other news, I'm working on my future contribution to Storage Wars as I continue to fill up storage lockers, which is slightly preferable to prepping for an episode of Hoarders in my living space.

[@jesseford7231]

Great video. Keep them coming.

[@darkrose4704]

Just my opinion but, those are some great running shoes! When I’m out on a 8 1/2 mile run they provide the best comfort on my ankles that any shoe ever has! My last pair lasted me a little over a year now and I just threw them away!

[@STRATTONSGARAGE]

Hey Pudding, you are one of my all-time favorite KZbinrs. When I see you have something new posted it just lights up my day, I know I’m going to be entertained. Hey, I also love the other channel. Speaking of things I like, how about that trimmed-up hair and beard, looks great. Guys who work in the shop every day sometimes forget about our grooming duties, if you know what I mean. Keep up all the good work and all the fun and I’ll see you on the next one.

[@twistedkidmotorsports9093]

If you hook a hose somehow to your exhaust pipe your vehicle and run it to the inside of the fuel tank you’re welding that also works so you don’t get blowed up

[@steveholland1163]

A trick with gas tanks is to run an engine exhaust through them for about 1/2 hour that will purge the f umes and let you be able to weld on it without it full of water

[@RoundTownWithMike]

The "weld-Boom" clip had me snauzing my root beer! 😂

[@aaronschinlaub9704]

I was going to say I would have probably put some rubber between the gas tank and those metal straps so if it does vibrate move around it doesn't get surface rust started and then it'll rot out right in those spots that's why normally old metal gas tanks were wrapped with rubber around the straps just like aluminum tanks on the semis

[@DarkThanatos]

the big pudding give us a new video... taking a drink and enjoy this video :D

[@savedbygraceoutdoors]

Dang it man! You are the hardest working man on KZbin.

[@donaldlawton7384]

If you see a good rubber big truck mudflap on the road they make good fuel tank strap rub guards.

[@jonathanreddinger1679]

The stuff you does makes me laugh but in a good way. Reminds me of the days working on cars with my friends. We weren’t serious and did some dumb stuff. It would be a blast to work on something with you. Keep it up man.
