Air tanks + weld ?
 
Hi. got the tanks back from the paint shop a couple of days ago, looks like this:

And just for now attention has come to our mind that its never good to weld on air tanks cause they might cause an explosion if unlucky.

Do we trick ourselfs to using it or is the chances for it to explode minimal? Had no clue to worry about this, never heard it.

Ain't gonna be much of an explosion with maybe 150 psi.

I really dont think it will explode... More than likely to leak !!! run a small amount of pressure 5 psi or so and use soap and water to check for any leaks !
