When welding a patch, do it like you would tighten lug nuts. Weld an inch, go to the opposite side, weld, move to another seam, etc. Spreads out the heat, helps with distorting the patch with warps, and stretching. One you strike, weld...stop doing that tack weld tip tap crap
Easy answer: unbolt junk truck bed and take it to the scrap yard. Bolt new bed down that isn't junk. Easy fix!! For a bed that roached, you should have just layed you patch over the top and "welded" it down
If that's a steel tank, you're lucky to be alive
Tons of haters on RUclips buddy… nice work! Could’ve been done a different way, sure, did it get the job done & you’re satisfied!? All that matters! 😅

The metal is so thin if I keep welding it melts through
That looked like the tank was plastic, I’d have put a protective plate on the top of it while I was welding it other that that good job
Is it safe to be welding over a gas tank just saying
Good job!

You buying new bed?? 😂
Who can afford that heck. Craziness. Just some small holes why not patch it up. Guess it depends on your use case.
