      Car had a half-full 10 gallon tank. The limit was 25 gallons, so I came prepared with four, 5-gallon gas cans and filled those up.

        That’s the most frugal shit I’ve seen on here. Well done.

        How much did the cans cost? We need all the math here.

            Nonsense! My old buddy “Three Fingers” Donovan told me it’s perfectly safe and you don’t need to empty the cans before you start welding.

              I wonder if he’s related to my old buddy “Uninjured Hand” Donovan. Been a while since I checked in on him…

            There was a feller local to my area that got himself involved in stolen credit cards. He had welded himself together something that could only be called a vat in the bed of his truck that could hold 300+ gallons. They caught him at the station when he came back for the fourth time.
