Actually, the best way to weld an old gas tank is to fill it with nitrogen. That's how my husband fixed his motorcycle tank years ago.
You (and others) are absolutely correct ... I didn't think about inert gas. Instead, I was relying on what I learned 40+ years ago from an amazing 'shade tree' mechanic. (The old guy I've mention before, who grew up with the boys who started NASCAR.)
I really need to remember inert gas. :D :R
In StingrayL82's case, filling a 51 gallon tank would take a lot of inert gas.
