I’m getting ready to dive into a resto on an OA55 Johnson. The tank is non-rusty, but it’s had the absolute snot beat out of it. I have a Unispotter studwelder to pull dents extenally….but I’d hate to end up with a hole in the tank after grinding a pulling stud off….and just ‘mudding’ it is NOT my style. There’s all sorts of info on the board concerning aluminum tanks and this situation, but none on steel. Any experience out there? How much pressure? Heat…how much? Propane? MAPP? Acetylene & a brazing/welding tip? Don’t wanna’ ruin a good (for the age…) tank.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Jim
I say "pardon me" a lot. I had a 20H, then raced open mod sleds.
