I think the trick is to make sure the welder has a very good earth return then the general mass of the car should damp any spike to a reasonable level Jb

the liklihood of damage is not great, but in the case of ECUs costing several hundred pounds is certainly worth bearing in mind. Chris

Removing the earth terminal will not prevent damage to electronic components.........the only way to do that is to either remove the part entirely, or to fit an anti spike device over the battery terminals. However the liklihood of damage is not great, but in the case of ECUs costing several hundred pounds is certainly worth bearing in mind. Chris This is the sort of thing I was thinking about - presumably there is some high voltage spike protection somewhere because of the sparks generated by the ignition system. Just wondered if this was enough. John

liquid. CO2 works well on a bowl of burning liquid. Somehow I ended up as a fire marshall at work and we had to have a morning's training on the use of extinguishers. Putting a small petrol fire out was no problem for the CO2 extinguisher.. For his last trick, we were shown the effects of water on a petrol fire..Not something I'll ever do, that's for sure Mike
