Good thinking! I never thought of any explosion.

Now that I think about it, I guess there could be some sizzling like in a fry pan.

Since I would try it with the oil drain plug installed, the whole affair would be contained in steel enclosed area like a barrel.

Get this, there is a vent available the FLAME TRAP! (:)

You know you got me thinking. Since I have a mig welder I could just circulate Argon or CO2 gas down through the oil filler cap port and it would escape out the flame trap or even vice-a-versa. Heck plug things and pull a slight vacuum.

A lot of work for thirty seconds of welding.
Just easier, if I stay careful and use my torque wrench first!
