What can I use to get water out of a gas tank
The gas tank is out and sitting on the ground. I need to solder a fitting back on without blowing myself up. I've done this before by washing the tank out and letting it sit in the shed for a few days first. But I really would like to turn this repair around today. Any ideas how I can safely get a flame close to an empty gas tank?
I've thought about just filling it with water, but I fear the water would absorb the heat and make soldering impossible. If I wash the tank out, how can I get the residual water out before reinstalling? Would swirling a few bottles of 90% rubbing alcohol around in it do the trick? Can anybody think of something better to use, something that is fairly readily available off the shelf?
