Welding onto an oil pan
Is it safe to weld onto an empty oil pan while its on the car? Empty as in, has oil residue inside the pan... This may be a stupid question, im not sure.

Yeah.
I would say don't try but if you do make sure you take pics of the aftermath for us.

I don't think it would be worth the risk of doing it with the pan on. It is the vapors that become explosive.
Now, if you were like this guy, it probably would not bother you.

Good idea, im just going to punch a hole, weld a nut on then use a NPT fitting to screw into the hole. Should be pretty simple to weld too... If I stop posting after tommorow check the news.

Cram a big wet towel in there.
