Beth Fabricating an Aluminium Fuel Tank

Hi everyone! Today i am fabricating an aluminium fuel tank for a stock car. It's something we make quite often at work so we though't we'd show you how we do it. Sorry we haven't uploaded much over christmas and new year, we've got an escort rally car video coming soon! Plus many more exciting videos and projects planned for 2020.

So refreshing see a young person and female at that learning a craft rather than just wanting to be a "social media influencer". I started as a tool maker and fabricator, miss being able to work in a proper workshop

[@19HarDMaN97]

Thats right, its nice to see young girl who is making stuff wich require thinking. Social media are cancer, many girls are chasing likes instead do something more productive.

[@whoispriest]

thank fuck you said it, i was thinking that same thing, to many women nowadays want to sit back do nothing but snapchat facebook, youtube whats app, ectt... get a job for christ sakes.

[@jamesgilliard1181]

@whoispriest Facts!

[@AW-Services]

Bloody well said..

[@TheRebelOne.]

You simply can't beat hand crafted parts to your specifications. Well done Beth, superb job. Even your background music is perfect, calming and soothing. Keep up the great work👍

[@AW-Services]

Randomly saw this video in my suggested videos. Watched from start to finish and enjoyed every second. A very talented and skilled young lady with a bright future ahead. So refreshing to see more women dominating the workshops.

[@raymondlidy5918]

I work as a sheet metal worker we make 300 to 500 Ltr fuel tanks for generators and tanks for fire protection as well as other fabricating work and watching you doing all the work from start to finish amazes me. Keep up the wonderful work most of all keep safe

[@etprecisionmachine2379]

How nice to see a young KZbin fabricator wearing gloves while TIG welding. Keep up the good work and intelligent use of your tools. Eric

[@meyou8100]

Yeah if u AC weld without gloves better not have sweaty hands....

[@scaifefab4585]

And a grinder with a gaurd on not the normal youtube stuff welding in short sleves and grinders with no gaurd or handle😮

[@TheMaccatakker69]

Only needs one word to describe Beth, 'Awesome'!

[@brokenbiker09]

somebody get her a Bad Obsession Mototsport cup for her tea!

[@hcelondon5097]

Amazing ! All these kids that leave school and work in dead end jobs , I was a apprentice I think you are a credit to yourself good on you girl !

[@danechristmas6570]

Just came across this video..Sheet metal bending, tig welding with a perfect weaving style and uniform beads.. You are a very skilled crafts"man".

[@pauljenkins2501]

What a wonderful video! Thank you. As someone who is utterly useless at all forms of DIY, I have huge admiration for anyone who can make things out of metal, wood or brick.

[@shrek822]

Awesome, a younger person wanting too and taking the interest in learning a actual useable trade rather than a " I have a college degree " with no job. My hats off to ya keep it I think your awesome.

[@jody6183]

How milky was that cup of tea ! Shocking.... Apart from that, great work 👍🏻😂

[@GazVDS]

I was going to say the same thing...glad it's not just me. Please tell me put sugar in it though?

[@walter2990]

She likes what she likes! To each, their own.

[@eternaloptimist2840]

Having just watched someone on KZbin make a slightly shoddy aluminium fuel tank, I thought I'd look for someone doing it as I thought it should have been done, and here we have a good example of doing it right.

[@johnnz4375]

For all the feminists who want a strong female roll model, here is one. And without blaming everyone else why it is so hard. I think she does a fantastic job. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@markarrington3869]

Tig welding aluminum is very difficult. Especially with fuel.

[@AtulSohan]

Damn it u beat me to that !!! i have the same opinion so #metoo i guess

[@Danirio96]

She will still get paid less than a male peer.

Being 59 yrs old it's very nice to see the younger generation doing quality work and learning a needed trade! It's also nice to see a young lady learning a craft!

[@diezl202]

Love watching you do your thing Beth, keep 'em coming! 🤘

[@jashton8710]

Works with metal, no broken nails....master class.

[@Jcrause]

You did a great job I’m happy to see a young women In the profession keep blazing trails!!!!

[@Birdman_in_CLE]

The craftsmanship and time put into the project along with the pride in doing things the right way is why I subscribed. Can't wait to see what is next!

[@usergoogle]

I know that's not easy job, but I'm glad to see female fabricates that. Thank you 👍

[@frozengarage3954]

I am French, and I dream of your automotive culture! creative, ingenious and passionate! Thank you for sharing !

[@mattparkin7353]

I loved seeing a young woman in a metal fabrication trade, well done you 👍. I was watching your technique, there are some improvements you can make, like all comments take as much of it as you want. First, your dobbing the filler wire, when you should be feeding it in. Feeding will allow you to better control you weld pool/puddle size and temperature. Also feeding reduces the possibility of tungsten inclusion/contamination. Second, i could see when you're welding you're just holding the torch. Im sure you've noticed the weight of that lead when you trying to get certain positions. Wrap the torch lead around your arm a few times, allowing for a little slack at your wrist, this will allow you to freely move your hand and torch as required and your arm will take the weight of the lead. Third, when your cutting metal and creating dust, especially aluminium, put a damn respirator on! You're a talented young woman, dont go wrecking your lungs. I was a welder for 15 years, i moved on to become a aircraft engineer and still do the odd job. The biggest thing i learned in tig weld was patients, dont be in a rush, set yourself up and youll put out a good weld. Fyi it might be a good idea to purge your tanks with some agron before fully welding; better and more uniformed penetration. If youve ever got some questions just shoot me a message and ill do my best to answer. Keep up the awesome vids

[@runesteinsnnkristoffersen5641]

It`s good to see young ,skilled girls or boys , doing nice craftmanship . Keep up the good work :-)

[@adeh503]

You've got some fantastic old machinery there proper old school stuff 👍 your work on the tank was exceptional well done

[@momia764]

Una maquina la chavala, en 40 años de profesión solo había visto a otra compañera, era alemana y de eso hace mucho. Enhorabuena. 👏👏👏

[@darrenb66]

from an old school boilermaker here in Oz glad to see the ladies take up this awesome skill, hope more follow in your foot steps. great job on the tank btw, very tidy

[@campgas5344]

I have been in the welding industry for 30 plus years, that looks great. It reminds me of me when I welded aluminum 8 hrs a day, I am glad I stumbled on your channel, I will definitely check back time to time,

[@meoutwest]

That is great to see the process. Thanks for sharing.

[@shitmonkey]

I watch tons of welding videos and it troubles me how most people do not prep a weld like you so excellently did.. Most people do not gap their welds. you try to point out that they can't achieve complete joint penetration without a proper gap and you get dismissed.. I took welding in college and the women were better than most men. it's all about dexterity.. outstanding job !!!

[@pawelwolinski9380]

I don't have words to describe how this is awesome. Respect.

[@TheNicko773]

Tanks are one of my favorite things to fab and repair. Great job.! Thanks for sharing.

[@limjamrace]

Such a talent to be able to weld like that using the Tig!

[@kjaques1]

Im just going to say this is genuinely inspiring to watch. Many thanks.

[@Roy750]

Beth is amazing! Really impressed. I have just bought the same helmet as her! Now I need some shed time to practice my welding.

[@blinkinbadger6164]

Just stumbled across the escort build vids in my suggested vids ( watched all 9 so far ) now I’m on to this ...the power of you tube ! Great work Beth !!

[@billybodgit6281]

You have better skills than most blokes who's been fabricating for years.. Well done

[@divarachelenvy]

lovely work... glad to see an old punch press in use... I miss them..

[@TheMatizyahu]

Nice consistent looking welds - you are very talented one :) One hint for you - if you doing any aluminium (or 316 welding equip yourself with ventilated welding helmet or fume extractor at least. Fumes of aluminium are extremely poisonous. Beside lungs damage you can suffer from neurological issiues (problems with concentration, regres of cognitive functions), major hair loss and lower bone density. Also auminium vapors can cause infertility.

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

Very impressed with your TIG welding. Awesome skills. Thanks for sharing.

[@mroldschool609]

You go girl !!!! Great job was a pleasure to watch

[@jacobswann7121]

I just come across your channel. I really love watching you guys share your experience and knowledge,thank you for sharing. What I loved the most is you can really tell fabricating is a passion, you love working with your hands. Looking forward to subscribe to your channel, keep up the good work can’t wait to see more 😁

[@hectorguzman28]

Thank you so much! I’m not a welder but I want to make a gas tank for a miller legend welder. The way you made that tank is so easy.

[@ShivJG13]

I loved watching this. I'm hoping to learn these skills soon as I want to build motorbikes and be able to fabricate as much as possible myself. Just wish I learned how to 30yrs ago! Never too old to learn though.

[@chrismaplethorpe6781]

You have the right attitude to learn. A lot of people myself included use the excuse that am getting too old to learn. But we can if we set our minds to it.

[@AisAL321]

From one one weldor to another, Good job!

[@trevorjarvis3050]

Subscribed! Didn’t know about you until 20 minutes ago. It is truly a pleasure to watch younger folks coming onto their own within their chosen trade... even the ones who speak a language I don’t understand. I now have a new channel to binge on when the snow flies.

[@michaelpooley3409]

Beautiful piece of welding and fabrication .

[@MYASSHOLEBURNS1]

That was awesome. Fabing from scratch is very cool to watch.

Wish I could make one myself this good... maybe one day

[@salty1ify]

Good old box & pan folder and manual guilly ha. Was a bit worried when i saw the gaps u had to weld up but u bossed it. Fair play 👌

[@traceyprescott8347]

[@alancollard8939]

loved it took me back many years ago of freeing brit fab shops , the best bit getting more weight on the treadle of that old edwards guillotine, many time needed big blokes,surprised the sheet wasnt secured ,most times it will walk, great welding ,mines gone to shit as i cant see , one other thing i would have welded the pickup tube at its base , as i had them fracture , but real great to see a young girl enjoying her work , so few want to learn fab skills

You are very talented regardless of gender . Your shop is very well equipped . So how many of you work at usherengineering ? I only found your sight today by chance . No regrets! Beth , you have a great mentor. Make sure you pass your skills on later in life. I've been in the motor Industry for over 50 years and l'm constantly disappointed by the way for various reasons the knowledge isn't passed on. Great stuff.
