Advice on Gas Tank Removal wanted

[Worzel]

I want to remove the gas tank, as there is a fair amount of welding to do around it.

is there a procedure for this or just turn off the valve and disconnect the wires and pipes?

last time my mate had to get his tested he just removed it like you say but i think their is a special tube of leak seal that you are supposed to use in gas fittings on cars when you re attach.

please correct me if im wrong.

Yeah that will work Worzel, once you undo the pipe, let it  drain the pipes while having a coffee, use thread sealer when re-connecting, and check it with soapy water

youll get a small discharge from any fittin you undo yor inlet valve is one way yor outlet will have a tap before the lockoff no sparkywarky things near it an dont have a fag hangin out yor mouth      i used to test all the fittings wiv a spray bottle of water wiv a tad of washin up liquid in it . . palmolive of course so i didnt get dishpan paws    oops soz ross didnt see yor imparted comment above hope u use palmolive too

most of the fittings are self sealing or olived..i found ptfe tape woz always ok   the water n dishliquid will tell u straight away if something isnt sealed . .beware lpg is incredably totally  an 1 of th  highest of all things flammable. even static from yor curlywurlies to your nylon cacs can get it goin .1 litre of lpg mixed with the correct amount of air for combustion is equal to 24 litres of  petrol in its boom value. do not treat it wiv complaciency or disregard for it volatility.. (very very very "serious icon" inserted.) an murphys law loves its volatile propertys to be sure to be sure to be sure

hay skippy, fag has a different meaning in the great southern land..

having one of them hanging out of your mouth while working on the beddy takes on a whole new meaning

it would indeed be difficulterer to check the tanks date . .    but id be more worried about the ol ringgear gettin chewed out or sumfing at that piont    oh no  am not goin  "camping" anymore , bleat! cant kick back an chew the fat wiv uvver bugas ova beddys, an aint gonna  mention any thing bout the new headjob nor owt about butting up the rear interior ,  but ya s got me     on the "fag" thing sweetie        now where did i put me ciggys
