If I was doing it, I would use a brass punch to avoid a spark. That is the advantage of a lead bullet since it does not create a spark. Movies display gas tanks exploding after being shot and this is a myth. Even with tracer rounds they will not explode, but with the exact fuel/oxygen mixture they might catch on fire, if shot from a long enough distance.



This information is valuable for using a torch on vehicles and large machinery. I always fill fuel tanks with water before using a spark around them. This eliminates air, dilutes the fuel, and removes any fumes. Hopefully this information will help members of the forum from learning the hard way.
