I am working on parts of my early 39 M. My small gas tank the threaded port on the bottem has come loose from the tank. It looks like it may have been spot welded when new. Is that correct? is there any way I can repair this? I have anther off a 41 but they are not even close to the same. Can I braze this or respot weld it? It has not had gas in it in years so no fumes. Thanks Paul

When I worked at the welding shop we would fill gas tanks clear full with water then dump it out and weld.

If we concerned that we didn't get all the gas fumes out we would stick a torch in from a distance or tied to a broomhandle.

But useing the water never once had a flare up.

If the tank has been empty for some time, there should be no problem.

Just make sure you get all the water out before remounting the tank.

Just in case there is a trace of fumes in the tank....here is what I do....put a open air hose into the filler....set pressure a about10 - 15 #.....mow go ahead and braze or soder it.....

I'd just clean it up and braze it.
