torch...
Hi Kathy,
I do not remember - what were the objections of your warming
the 500 Tank with a 'torch'?
Unlesss you were using an Oxy-Acyteline Torch, and had a
nice, focused, welding heat flame, held in only one spot of
the 500 Tank...just to see if you could get something TO
happen, or just to see if you could burn through the
steel...just what was the objection raised?
Were you useing a little 'Burns-a-matic' or something, just
wafting the flame over the tank to warm it?
Were people worried that an otherwise incidental leak might
have caught fire from the flame of your torch? Or...?
I am curious...!
Thanks,
Phil
Las Vegas
