Those gas vapors stay in there well after you think they're gone. I once had to torch off the old bumper brackets on my dad's F150 and that was right next to the tank. I had him go fill it at the pump first so there wasn't any vapors there. I'm still here so it worked. I wouldn't recommend welding on a full tank of gas though......... Donovan from Wisconsin
