bc said: (quoted from post at 20:00:51 05/29/09) I knew a welder who could weld on a live 8" lpg propane gas lines. Not sure what he was doing or why, but as long as he didn't burn through. I think he was welding on or around well heads for underground storage wells. Plus propane is cold anyway.

When I went to "gas" school, the local (Spokane) then Washington Water Power, had a section of large plastic, maybe 3"? or so, someone had driven a standard 8' ground rod right through the middle of the thing.
