just curious, what are you making? I saw your post before about gaskits. Are you trying to make your own drop tank or something


Quote:

you making a petrol tank?


I'm thinking about it, yes.

Would immersion in petrol protect mild steel from corrosion?
If so, couldn't I weld/assemble the tank and then apply rust protectant/etch primer/enamel to the exterior surface to protect against exterior corrosion?

Can I weld stainless with MIG?

Quote:

if you weld the gal, it will corrode along the weld seam, so you'd be better off welding up mild steel, and getting it gal'd (if thats what you wanted to do)


I like this idea provided galvinising the welded product isn't too expensive.

Quote:

what about alloy?


What are the implications for welding alloy? I've only welded a few times before and only have MIG available.
