when using the weld on stud process on japanese or metric tanks, may i suggest using a European travel plug adapter if you are in the U.S. this will convert American electricity into metric electricity and provide a far stronger weld point. Obviously if you are working on a Harley Davidson then don't use metric electricity.

This video is awesome! Thank you Ichiban Moto. This completely removed the hair from my brows and beard when I did the first step but the results were well worth it. No more gas in the tank! I used an old screw driver instead of the coat hanger and the circuit breaker kept tripping so I removed it and wired everything straight up and it worked beautifully. Holding the wires by hand was not a great experience the first few minutes but then after the burnt skin got hard it was much easier.

Awesome instructional video, with great tips!!! I found it helps the welding part when you wash your hands thoroughly and weld while your hands are still wet. This prevents the oils in your skin from getting on the metal during the weld. Oh, it also helps to stand in a puddle so you know your feet aren't kicking up dust from the floor

I've been doing tanks for over 35 years and his methods seem to work a lot better than mine. I suggest that you use his tank dent pulling system. One thing though instead of using 110 volts use 220 to weld the nail to the tank.

I didn't read the whole title of the video before I started watching. When you said the tank was from a Gold Wing, I knew something was amiss. Very funny video.

Way too much work and a waste of gasoline. try this next time. Instead of burning the gas off at the beginning, make it your friend. Seal the cap on the tank and then run you electrical wires in through the bottom. Then plug it in and let it arc and spark. That should blow the dents out. e sure you have enough gasoline in to do the job, but not enough to blow it up. That's the tricky part.

I only had plastic coat hangers and could not replicate your weld process. Is it okay if I paint my plastic coat hangers with metal coloured paint? I am hoping that using 2 x AA batteries instead of just one will help as the dent I have is very old and has probably become a little stubborn and set in it's ways a little.

To everyone who is offering their negative feedback, I don't understand. I have been following the videos and using his techniques with great results. The only think I find fault with is using the bare wire in the outlet. This is extremely dangerous! You must use two metal paperclips and attach the wire to them first. then easily insert into the socket. Obviously he has never has yet to have a strand of wire bend back and lodge under his fingernail. I literally shuddered watching him stick the wire into the outlet without paperclips.

I have questions. When I tried the gasoline removal/safety process you describe I had a much more sudden and dramatic reaction and I'm trying to determine what I did wrong. I think i've narrowed it down to three possibilities. You don't mention in the video wether it is best to remove residual gas from the tank prior to initiating the process? The second possibility is that the dents on my tank were in a different location? Lastly, and most probable in my estimation was a reaction between the chemical make up of the matches I used and the gasoline. I was not able to proceed past this first step but if I were able to do it again I would probably try a different brand of matches.

This is gold I just love the sanding disc technique
