    I've read other recommendations on YouTube and it seems the water method would be so messy and time consuming and maybe not even as safe as using the exhaust like Mechanic said. I've done just that with a newly drained diesel barrel and have soldered a gas tank that way. There is some concern with the oxygen in the acety. mix being dangerous. I'm aware that the smaller engines produce a higher grade of carbon monoxide.....such as a lawnmower engine. But you, Jason, say you don't use either method; just have the valve removed and cut away. That's good to know...thanks.
