I can remember one other thing , instead of filling the tank with water,
A) get some dry ice. Carbon dioxide kills the oxygen in the tank , let it
set with about 1/2 pound crushed and into the tank / for 20 mins.
the solder to your hearts content
B) If you have another car around run a garden hose into the tank with the
car running and 15 mins later solder it. One discount of this is the smell
and the water accunmilation in the tank from the exaust
When finnished tie a rag to a good wire and flop around in the tank to get
some of the water and then air out for 2 hours with the air hose to get the
water out asap.
