Hi,

Failed mot Need some welding done, but the hole is right under the lpg tank and filler neck and the guy won't do it in fear of getting blown up !

Can't get tank out as it buried into the bottom of the cupboards and after just spending alot of time getting them looking nice I really don't want to pull them all out

Anyone attempted any welding in this situation and still alive to tell the tale ?

if you isolate the tank at the shut off valve, and take sensible precautions, i wouldnt be scared of it.......... its a lot safer than welding near a petrol tank, esp a empty one.....

your gas tank dont leak does it? the pipe work dont leak? then whats the problem??

Nobody will touch it with the tank there, i've tried a few places.

The lpg was in the van when I bought it last year but never worked properly. Been trying to get the money to have it looked at.

I checked with a place to see if they would have a look at it, but they will only work on their own stuff they say. I can only find 2 over here, other one too far away.

So i'm just gonna have to see if I can just take it out by myself I'm not sure if it's a professional install ?

Has anyone ever seen one of these, it's all in german. What looks like the cut off valve on top of it says 0 and ZU (which i translated to 'to' ) I take it i turn it to 0 and hope for the best really !




The offending hole, about an inch long The red is the lpg tank

is the tank for the leisure side or the engine ?

if its for the leisure then just turn it off , unbolt it drop it off, weld up,refit

It's for the engine side of things

ok .. turn the gas off .. where is the hole .. hard to judge by the piccie ..

i wouldn't be affraid! the tank would be about 5-10mm thick, that's some seroiously prolonged welding directly at the tank to pierce the tank!
