I would like to respond to today's feature article about removing dents from gas tanks.
I tried the exact same proceedure on a gas tank. The end result was I blew the tank into a flat piece of tin, I myself landed ten feet back inside my shop on the hood of a stock car, busted my torch, cut my leg, and fractured my thumb.
I had a large spool of solder sitting on the tank which I couldn't find after the blast. My wife swore something hit the house, about a hundred yards from my shop. A couple of years later when I happened to be on the roof of the house, I found the spool of solder in a rain gutter.
If anyone else wishes to win the annual Darwin Award, more power to them. I, personally, will not EVER, EVER, EVER again approach a gas tank with an open flame. I theorized after the fact that filling the tank with water with a small bubble at the area to be mended actually compresses gas fumes to cause an even larger explosion.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
