I would like to build a new one but this thing has about 16 ports on it, internal filters, baffles, and other things on it. I know they weld on main gas lines live just trying to figure out how its done. as for the fitting I can weld it to the outside before the hole is bored so its just welded to the outside of the tank

I knew someone here would have a duh fix for it. thank you welderj that will work perfect.

most of the cuttings will flow out when the bit passes through I already have dumped about 40 gallons of oil on the floor from leaks(this is a new rig to me and we are doing all the repairs from years of abuse and from a couple of years of sitting). A couple of big magnets on the base of the tank aught to trap everything else right?

tool maker I was worried about having a poof, my wifes a widow moment. when you did those was the tank full of fluid above your welding point or was it below I can fill the tank back up above the port height if needed? its a pressurized tank very little air movement when the compressor is not running. there is over pressure relief but no fresh air intank without the rig running

I got it welded in. I drilled it out and took the wirefeed bottle plumbed it in and let it run for a 100PSI worth then welded it over a 15 minute stretch with 1/16 +P rod had just a little flame were the oil would boil over and leak out the unwelded part of the weld outlet. a new computer to me so Im having issues with the pictures. thanks for all the advice and help
