    Default Reinforced welding seams?

    I’m welding up my fuel oil tank and was looking at my welds throughout tank. Most of the welded seams should be covered/protected with the fire cloth insulation and brick, but there are some welds that will be exposed. Has anyone had issues with their welds from the extreme heat generated by the fire? Should I consider reinforcing certain seams, plan ahead? I’m not a master welder, but I feel pretty confident with what I done. Thanks all.

    In theory your welds if done properly should be as strong or stronger than the parent material. My guess is you will be fine.
