Yes, i've seen that done numerous times over the years by very responsible master mechanics with spotless safety records. Even done it myself many times on motorcycle tanks. However i do not recomend it to any one to try it that do not know what they are doing. It's ind of like a hammer, hacksaw or file. There are just some people lacking in skill level to use them properly. Such people need to limit their activities to remove and replace parts technician level.
