hey im sanding my grease tank to repaint it is that ok? or will it blow up and shoot me?
We used to use an oxyacetylene torch to cut fuel tank off of trucks(cut the straps holding the tank). Just imbue the tank up first! Only the fumes are flammable. I would NOT advocate cutting a fuel cistern but sanding you should be capable of get away next to.


It will be ok! Oil has a elevated flash point so I wouldn't worry almost it.
The metal on your tank would hold to be red hot before it would fence in on fire.
Make sure you move one of the caps unscrew or off so no pressure builds up surrounded by the tank.
