The seat comes off for any access to electrics or any time the tank is lifted.
Still going, I have been out of shield gas for a while and rather than wait another couple of weeks to save up.
I decided to use the gasless mig I bought cheap a while ago.
To give the petcock and sender something flat to seal with, I made 2 plates of 5mm plates.
