Hey guys, question for the professionals. Im doing a restoration on my 90 accord coupe. I have been in the business for about 8 yrs. however my main job was paint and prep and refinish. I have a little knowledge about body work but not a whole lot. (minor metal straightening and plastic work). I can weld and do minor metal fab. Anyway i was wondering when I do the rust repair on my left side (driver side) rear quarter what precautions should I take being the gas tank is right there. everything is stripped so I can see the tube from the gas tank opening all the way to the tank. I really am not in the mood to blow up my garage so would covering up the tank with a welding blanket suffice? Should I syphon and then vaccum out all of the fuel? any help would be appreciated as I havent done this type of work since I was in tech school, I have the basic idea down just need to know the finer details. Thanks.

when i did mine, all i did is relive the pressure off the system.... just open the gas cap and relive the pressure. i just made sure i lil gas left on the tank....
i don't think you have to cut and weld all the way up there, unless the rust is pretty bad.are we there yet are we there yet are we there yet

I took the gas tank off the car. Didn't even think twice about it - didn't want to risk it. But the rust was really bad on my accord.Comment

the tank does have a drain bolt on the bottom of it if you really do want to drain it.
