You have to check in your specific AWS code book...D1.1 for most structural applications
AWS D1.1 is the American Welding Society structural welding code for carbon steel of 1/8 inch or greater thickness.
You could repair a leaking fuel tank by taking it off of the vehicle and welding it. Once the welding has dried you may put it back on the vehicle.
Graduating from a welding school can open up various job opportunities in the welding industry. Welders are in demand across sectors such as manufacturing, construction, oil and gas, automotive, aerospace, and more. Some potential welding jobs that can pursued after welding school are: 1.Welding Instructor 2.Welding Technician 3.Welder/Fabricator 4.Structural Welder 5.Pipe Welder 6.Welding Inspector

In the United States, the three top welding schools that prepare students for structural welder and master welder certification are: Tulsa Welding School (in Tulsa, OK and Jacksonville, FL), Hobart Institute of Welding Technology (in Troy, OH), and Lincoln Electric Welding School (in Cleveland, OH). Completion of these programs will provide qualifications for more advanced (greater than entry level) welding jobs.

The large current flow used to weld, can overload the electronics on the vehicle.
It depends on what welding processes you are interested in. If your interested in structural welding, but have no experience expect to make 16 dollars an hour don't accept any less.Remember experience is key and certifications are a must have.
