My 1990 Chevy 4x4 pickup with a 34 gallon fuel tank, which I use for plowing my longggg drive has decided to spring a minor leak. I have ordered a new tank and have all new straps, bolts on hand. My quandry is living in Mid-Michigan with its frigid temperatures. I have a wood stove, barell type volks model I believe. The legs of it are sitting on cinder blocks so it is a bit off of the floor. I also have a propane salamander, and a couple of small electric heaters. One of the electric heaters looks like and old fashioned type radaitor heater. What would you use to supply heat while you swapped out the fuel tank. I'm going to run the truck and or siphon out the fuel until the tank is almost empty or as empty I can get it. I just want to be safe and not have a fire or explosion. It currently is in my second pole barn and the leak is a realitvly slow drip from a couple of spots. I have a drip pan under it now and plan to put a couple or more pans to catch any of the gas that drips out and use it in my tractor, no sense in wasting it if at all possible.
Thank you advance for your advice,
