Guys,
I'm building a gas tank for the rat. I'm using 16 gauge steel for it. I have all the pieces cut and edges cleaned to bare metal.
Question is, before I go and tig this whole thing together, do I need to remove all the milling oil on the inside sides of each panel?
Is it really going to matter?
Also, should I coat the inside of the tank with something after I have it all done or will the bare metal be okay?
I know motorcycle tanks last a dang long time with them as bare metal, but I also always see guys coating the insides too.
Another question is do I need to remove the milling oil at the Inside edges of each panel prior to tig welding? I'll be welding all the corners together from the outside and I have those edges cleaned already.
