In this video I will be building a custom metal fuel tank. I will be using my miller matic 252 mig welder. I will be using a circle burner to cut the fill and pump holes. I will also be air testing it after it is completely built.

A little tip for welding around threads when you have a torch available, just turn your torch on using only acetylene on low and and hit the thread with the black smoke, the carbon prevents weld spatter from sticking.

@danp3414 Месяц назад

Just a screw a nipple in the threads

@sgtjohn08 6 дней назад

I see you are a man of culture, not many welders rock a stabila level.

@samuelscragg7052 6 месяцев назад

This project was a good example of a good plan and working the plan. Liked the air testing sure beats filling with fuel and finding a spot weeping fuel.

@tedamos 6 месяцев назад

I was an industrial welder for John Deere Hitachi building excavator booms we always started our welds in an uncomfortable position so you could end in a comfortable position when your getting tired

@Weld702 6 месяцев назад

First time I used a cutting torch in welding school, my instructor started yelling “Country, your on fire boy” and I was thinking “hell yeah I’m doing good” but nope my damn jacket was starting to flame up 😂

@supermotobuild774 6 месяцев назад

That was a slick cut on those holes I gotta get me that fot my torch. It will make it way nicer.

@arosswelding 6 месяцев назад

Thanks

Great job Sir. This job brought back some real old memories! From fabricating 220 bbl oil storage tanks in high school OJT to welding similar tanks like your building to hold hydraulic oil for accumulators to operate BOP’s for the oil field. If my memory serves me right we’d use 5 psi to pressure test. Thanks for sharing this. Oh, man that circle burner looks great along with a clean tip made for great fit on those collars

@juliusjohnson3177 6 месяцев назад

Been wanting to make one of these. Awesome fab skills. Thanks for sharing the insight.

@BMGProjects 6 месяцев назад

Ever since watching your first video talking about the standards you hold yourself to and quality of work-striving to make better welds each time, I try to get better and make each weld the best that I can. Thanks!

@textex7475 6 месяцев назад

Pretty cool. I build big tanks for standby gen-sets. We're talkin from 200 gallons up to 8000 gallons for CAT, Cummins, Generac, and a few others. Mostly duel wall tanks and a few single walls. EDIT also, Austin, if you build another tank of some sort, I'd be glad to talk with you and share info.

@littlelogan 6 месяцев назад

those downhill joints like that are some of my favorites to weld

@stevespra1 6 месяцев назад

Nice work, Austin. I'm glad you checked on the test pressure. I know from experience that it doesn't take a lot to blow up a tank. Apparently, 15 PSI will do the trick.

@2nickles647 6 месяцев назад

Yes sir. You canculate the lxwxh and get the total area. You want to add 5 psi and recalculate. You will find how much actual pressure is in the tank. You will be surprised how much.

@neilheriot2361 6 месяцев назад

I was getting frustrated for you just watching those air bubbles at the end. Nice work , preparation is key👌

@scottjune3554 6 месяцев назад

That thing turned out pretty. Nice work.

@arosswelding 6 месяцев назад

Thanks 👍

@jasonkeith674 3 месяца назад

👏👏 great work and great lessons. Be better than I was yesterday is what I strive for. Thank you.

@chrisduncan2626 6 месяцев назад

I actually screen recorded you saying "creating a habit of patience and taking time/money out of the equation and focusing on the standards you set for yourself" and will put it in a folder of other things like that for when i get disheartened or wanting to hurry 😎

@beyondmiddleagedman7240 6 месяцев назад

Just remember Krusty Enterprises. "It's not just good. It's good enough!" LOL. (The difference between a welding job and repeat clients.)

@olddawgdreaming5715 6 месяцев назад

Great job Austin, all welded and pressure tested and it is ready to be cleaned and painted. Thanks for sharing with us, we enjoy your great videos and all the projects you share with us . Keep em coming. Fred.

@HD-Dave 6 месяцев назад

Used to make hydraulic and fuel tanks using very similar methods, I would use a clamshell type of bend where only 3 sides on each side needed welding. The flat bar on top is a nice feature.

@erod4489 3 месяца назад

Mmm hmmm. U said that right at 5.40 I impressed myself. Making sure tip cleaned b4 cuts will help for sure

@user-ul3vu4ks2p 6 месяцев назад

when I'm doing full round mig welds I'll tuck the gun conduit between my legs or pinch it up against the bench with my thigh-that frees up the two or three feet of conduit so it's not dragging on the edge of my workpiece.Also I do a dry run before sparking up

@pawpawcatt 6 месяцев назад

all we gotta do is try to be better than we was yesterday

@T2welds 6 месяцев назад

Austin, thanks so much for your videos. this one was really good. Im grateful you are in this universe.

@arosswelding 6 месяцев назад

My pleasure

@erichill5208 6 месяцев назад

My dad was a welder for 60 plus years. He always told me make every weld as nice as you can. Always striving for better with each weld. Reguardless of what is being welded from small to gigantic.

@warrenjones744 6 месяцев назад

One to the things that goes in my pocket everyday along with a pocket knife if a torch tip cleaner. Clean tips, they make a difference! I Always try to do a little better every day, great advice👍

@deanhoward4128 6 месяцев назад

When I worked as a tank welder,we always tested our tanks & vessels with air & soapy water; or " hydrostatic ". So we had to have our steel as clean as possible, our company also did sandblasting & painting/ coatings , so we always had an industrial air compressor in the yard.When I was learning tank welding, collars & couplings had female threads & nipples & swedges have male threads.and back then the mig welder had just been invented & so we didn't have one,most of our tanks & vessels were stick welded with 6011& 7018 rods.

@joshsharpe1575 6 месяцев назад

Awesome job but for federal reasons you built a water tank unless you get it certifield federally for legal liability reasons or in worse case legal actions. just fyi and helping you out Austin! Keep up the good work!!!!

@jeffreywakeman1472 6 месяцев назад

the cut at 28:24 is golden. Not sure why but the timing just hit perfect for me. Rest of the video OK as well ;)

@derekbryant6137 6 месяцев назад

Most of my career I have done fixture welding and you were just talking about where your Mig lead Falls how I have mitigated problem when it's a problem is I will put the whip over my shoulder so that it's straight in line with what I'm doing and this also keeps it from being kinked because you know right where it's at it doesn't work for everything but when you're in a tight space it has always worked good for me

@roberthansen3546 6 месяцев назад

Absolutely beautiful, makes farm store tanks look like amateur hour junk.

@lonestarrk9308 3 месяца назад

I think this is the first time I’ve seen a video where you weren’t using stick.

@jodyump8842 6 месяцев назад

Nice job. I like your videos. I'm sure you know thus already, when welding in couplers, screw a plug in there. That will keep the splatter out and keep them from getting hot and egg shaped..

@charlestucker-um2td 6 месяцев назад

good job... 8-) more soap. do both rectorseal #5 and teflon tape.

@francoalvarez8686 6 месяцев назад

Looks like custom is the better then a commercial things, by the way look for some one to make a front end loader bucket for a compact tractor; having trouble to find a fitting for

@stevenkaras4562 6 месяцев назад

I surely hope, you had at least 1 coffee break. 😀

@landroverihtractor1965 6 месяцев назад

Very nice project and lots of helpful info - thanks

@hubertrobinson8825 6 месяцев назад

I like the way you do things I myself wants my welds to be done b perfectly and to also look the part too sometimes it doesn't always go as planned but only the best is good enough

@carlsmith2826 6 месяцев назад

1 inch either side of the weld brother.

@JCWren 6 месяцев назад

I like the torch circle cutting jig, although I am curious why you go with a torch instead of a plasma cutter. Consumables for plasma cutters are so much more less expensive than gas.

@johndoe43 6 месяцев назад

Neat Austin no spatter smooth welds

@irsanirsan3960 6 месяцев назад

Extraordinary

@Wirewelding 5 месяцев назад

Be careful using air to leak test, because it's compressed it could explode.

@stephenwalford774 6 месяцев назад

Nice job, not sure what the limit is, but anything high pressure always test with water, never air.. If goes tits up with air your gonna know about it. With high pressure water failure it's much safer.. Low pressure as you done sure be ok.. 😊

@spfldmilkman 6 месяцев назад

Question wouldn't a tig weld be more in the class of a prettier weld as you said for the top, with no sanding or grinding. Just asking not meant as negative feed.

@arosswelding 6 месяцев назад

Depends on how experienced the individual is with tig… my tig ain’t that pretty lol so I went with mig

@aidenschwartz 6 месяцев назад

For me with mig, I have to wear ear protection. The sound drives me nuts. I can hear it just enough to tell if I’m having a problem with the surface of the material otherwise than that, don’t need to have it blasting in my ear.

@Stayinghiredout 6 месяцев назад

Why not smoke the threads?

@ssampson572 6 месяцев назад

It don't look like coffee looks like tea you can see through it lol. .

@BrentCameron 4 дня назад

Austin, what pressures are you running on your oxygen and acetylene? What size tip did you have in your torch? My cuts don't come out near as clean as yours running a size 00 tip (for stuff 1/4" or less) and my acetylene set at 4-5 psi and oxygen around 35-40psi.

@rusty_restorations36 6 месяцев назад

I’m not saying 3 lbs is really dangerous, but i personally wouldn’t air test anything square lol. Makes me nervous. I hydro whenever possible

@stephenwalford774 6 месяцев назад

Always safer and insurance..

@Theweldingmillennial 6 месяцев назад

Yeah hydro for sure, but this is more of a leak test. No way in hell I would be using a ball valve, at least have a leak test gauge with a schrader valve and a safety blow off. But I like all my arms and legs.

You pulse welding or do you just use a pulse nozzle tip?

@DIRTDUMMY1 6 месяцев назад

Always have been unsure of building a fuel cell and being DOT certified for road transit...

@ardennielsen3761 6 месяцев назад

the pipe that the pump attaches to to pull fuel from the bottom of the tank sometimes falls off as the fuel slowly burns the tape off the threads... loose then falls off, oil and gas resistant Permatex works better. ?stoichiometric flash point pressure of vapor in tank? weird how fuel burning in a tank lets out a lot of air then seems like it quit only to then continue burning letting out more burnt air, like its breathing stops and starts... but i guess 3/16 7018 on 1/8 wall tanks is confusing, very large surface aria coverage just pulling it away like spray arc on a mig. different surface finish. bigger rods make sealing easier

@thejues3919 4 месяца назад

What would be the price range for a gmt400 fuel tank that’s larger . Got a crew cab long bed drw 4wd that has a 6.5 turbo diesel

@fittergrips2010 6 месяцев назад

3/16" plate for a fuel tank ? a little heavy ? The thickest I made was a 40 imp.gallon tank was 10 gauge . with 2 baffles it was over 200 lbs . a sheet of 10gauge 4X8 sheet is about 200 lbs . I stick welded it back stepping the weld (weld towards your last weld ). The baffles stitched welded

@fredbecker607 6 месяцев назад

My goal is, the pieces dont fall apart the first time weight is applied.

@scottjune3554 6 месяцев назад

This is a great video, I want to ask you what shade of lens do you use?

@supermotobuild774 6 месяцев назад

When are you gonna get some welding shirts in I need to pick up 2?? Everytime I check there sold out.

@erikslagter3231 6 месяцев назад

It sounds like you had r2-d2 help you out during the timelapse

@user-ho1ku9kd6o 6 месяцев назад

Where do you buy those fittings to weld in?

@Tanker39 6 месяцев назад

I have learned you either spend the time on the front half or the back half? In other words you either spend the time on prep or you spend the time cleaning it up.
