sump welding

(1/2) > >>

whits:
my 300 tdi disco has a rusty sump and its started weaping oil its only a small patch so do you think its safe to weld a plate over the rust with the sump in place full of oil as the oil will disperse some heat or should i take it off and do it empty :undecided:

Dr Neil:
you'll need to remove it so as you can clean up the metal and get rid of the oil to ensure a good weld, especially if you are going to mig it!

ben_haynes:
you can weld it in place but drain the oil out, we do regularly,

whits:
thought so, i was hopeing for the other answer but there we go
thanks for the advice . mark
