He did not notice until his workshop was full of smoke) - no need to empty the fuel tank, just keep it closed. If the welds are close to the fuel tank you may want to put some wet rags between the tank and the panel. - do not work alone, get an assistant to watch what's happening while you are welding - have a fire extinguisher at hand... just in case MH '72 97 '77 96 '78 95 '79 96 http://go.to/saab96
