Re: Vacuum Cleaner Fuel Tank Explosion - Not Model A
My late uncle taught me most of what I know. I went to him with my 54Merc that leaked gas when the tank was full. We dropped the tank and found a terry cloth rag between the tank and the floor pan. He had me wash the tank out 3 times with the hose, drying each time in the sun. Then he dropped a match inside the tank. The tank went POP and he said now it is safe to solder new metal over the holes(coffee can sides.) Golly I miss him
