Fuel pump tank cap - Soldered wires broke off 700 1990

Heating anything that has been exposed to hydrocarbons may be VERY DANGEROUS!

Dried gunk deposited on the item may be vaporized by heat and cause an explosion.

I have seen a picture of three firefighters engulfed in flames when they tried to cut an empty oil drum with a K12 saw (a disc saw which generates heat and sparks)

Any hydrocarbon heated enough can produce vapors that can be explosive - for instance grease, and even coal. Coal and oil furnaces do not have a secure latch, just a short hook, so that they can blow open if there is an explosion.

Putting tin foil over an opening in a gas tank may be OK to keep vapors in, but if you drive the car, fuel sloshing may pop the tin foil off or burst the foil
