Yeah, Tig is great, but most people can't afford one. Personally, I'd use oxy-propane but thats because I've been using it for years and have the experience. Besides with TIG you run the risk of possibly melting the steel along with your brazing alloy which could cause problems. oxy-propane isn't hot enough to melt steel, oxy -acetylene is required for that.
But, the easiest option would be to try and use a steel valve or at least a steel spigot and compression fittings. Then you could weld straight onto the side of the drum with whatever welding technique you prefer. Although I wouldn't recommend stick for welding on a 45 gallon drum, make to many holes in it unless youve got a decent DC welder and 1.6mm rods at about 45 amps hugh Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuels list archives: http://archive.nnytech.net/ Please do NOT send Unsubscribe messages to the list address.
