Another kick in the nuts

Not sure what your local laws are in the town you live in,

But before the insurance company gets there I would remove the tank you have on the welding cart.

You are lucky that didnt blow.

I would but the garage is taped off. The fire department did not want anyone in there because the roof is falling in. I didn't wanna remove it and have the insurance company accuse me of tampering with anything.

Hindsight, I shouldn't have even been in there taking pics I guess.

But yes, I'm beyond gutted. Everything I had been working towards is gone.

It’s a good thing the Camaro was on the ground. I’ve read a few times on forums where insurance companies didn’t pay for a vehicle that was on jack stands. Glad nobody was injured. Still SUCKS BIG TIME. Damn glad I went with overhead radiant tube heat when I built my garage 20 years ago.

That's beyond stupid but not surprising I guess. It's my brother's car and he hasn't had insurance on it in over 4 years since it's been torn down. I think the bones are okay. The interior was removed for the cage welding but my welding hood sitting inside the car is now a puddle.

The insurance company may see that bottle, walk away and cancel your policy.

They could go as far as to say you are running a business out of your residence to justify their non payment/coverage.

Ive seen it happen with less and hopefully you dont have Farmers

Stupid YES!!! Some insurance companies will use any excuse to get out of paying for something

It's an argon or argon mix, not a welding bottle

doesnt matter its an explosive

doesnt matter its an explosive

argon is not explosive and it does not even burn, it is an inert gas

If that cylinder became damaged or compromised during the fire , it would launch itself like a rocket.

Maybe not a so called explosive........ but a huge projectile


Check out argon flash

the bottle was sitting in the proper position and less dangerous than a bbq 20 lbs tank or some filled gas cans that no one would object to being stored in a garage
