Default Re: FUEL TANK REMOVAL

Otto-

Just be careful that they aren't any fuel of fuel vapors that have soaked into the foam, especially if the tank was leaking. A friend of mine was removing a fuel tank from a boat and a spark from a saw ignited the vapors in the foam and it flashed over. He suffered some burns on his arms and hands and spent about 10 days in the hospital.

It was a freak accident, not extremely common.Just be sure to sniff around and be extra careful when working around a fuel tank.
