[@andrewledford3865]

Just completely fill the barrel with water. Everyone has a hose. Fill it til water is running out of the lid holes. At that point the water has replaced any vapor, and you can leave it full of water, cut it with a torch or plazma cutter, and then kick it over and dump the water out. I've done that exact thing probably 100 times over the course of my life for burn barrels and whatnot.

[@--_DJ_--]

@@Backyardmech1 We do the same work, but use siphon cylinders of compressed Co2. We had a guy saved by a Stihl that wouldn't start. He had cut one end already and was going for the other. He didn't realize it was a split tank, he had purged and cut the diesel end first but couldn't get the plugs out of the other side so he couldn't tell it wasn't connected to the side he had cut already. 3000 Gallons worth of gasoline vapor just waiting to go up, had the saw started he would have probably made low earth orbit. After that he understood why the procedure said to take ALL plugs out and confirm both ends of the tank are at a safe level to cut.

J .H. Just a thought about the mounting of the battery(s) in the bed of your mud truck and that is to get a battery box like are used on a boat. Some years back I had mounted the batteries for my truck in the bed of my truck similar to how you did yours with the terminals exposed and had a wrench setting on the edge of the bed fell down onto the exposed battery terminals and shoot back and clocked me in my jaw. I lost a tooth and had two surgeries as well as having my mouth wired shut for 6 weeks. Also you might want to consider ditching that "T" style cable connector and installing a positive and negative terminal stud and crimping on some terminal "eye" lugs. Lastly have you ever seen or used "Military Battery Terminals" Any time I replace a battery cable /terminal end I now replace /upgrade it to a Military Battery Terminals. PS I have had a barrel flash on me similar to what happened to you but instead of the barrel having brake-kleen mine had dry-cleaning fluid, anyway afterwards a friend of mines father told me to always drill a couple holes in the top of a barrel that I was going to scrap/cut and the blow them out before cutting them to make sure there are no pockets of trapped gases in them

[@gwbuilder5779]

Glad you are ok Justin. Watching the video you can see the blue flame starting to push through the cut when you were about half way around the circle. No way you could see it while you were cutting, but as soon as the piece was cut enough to lift the flame flashed up. Fortunately you did have the cap open because that prevented the barrel from rupturing. I've cut many barrels over the years and it really doesn't matter what's inside, the gases will build up. Having those caps off allows the barrel to vent. The safest way is to fill it about 2/3 full of water and watch for flames when cutting. Most metal recyclers won't take barrels if the lids are still on (guess it's different there), besides crushing those flammable barrels is actually even more dangerous. All welding and cutting equipment is dangerous and sometimes we need a reminder to double check ourselves. Thank you for sharing. Dangerous work still needs to get done and hopefully by you posting that clip will cause people to do a double check for the extra safety. 👍

[@bansheeman213]

I've been able to do a lot of different types of welding over the past 30 plus years and a drum is something that absolutely terrifies me and is something I will not touch. I will take a hot tie-in on a large high pressure gas line over a drum any day. It's just because they are so unassuming and like you just showed you could have stuck a lighter to it and nothing happens. So you go on and then when it hits the right amount of air/fuel she just go's off. I've seen so many that the person was not so lucky. I'm totally glad your ok and were definitely man enough to show everyone what can happen when you have a momentary lack in judgment. Definitely hope your video saves someone else from taking a chance. Stay safe brother.

I worked in a garage where they had one of those drums which was sat on a trolley and had a funnel in the top. They used it as a oil drainer but also let the fuel filters drain into it aswell. One day I was in the newly built 2nd storey of the building making a guard rail and a bit of spatter dropped from welding and got a direct hit into the funnel as someone had left it below.
