Back to the original victim..
A bloke that welds corrosion holes in diesel tanks is probably not the sort of bloke with a long life expectancy anyway.
So let him get on with the job and stand well back. (ear plugs are optional)

The original story came from http://www.brewracingframes.com/id75.htm .

The way that this story is spreading it screams hoax. I'm looking forward to the Mythbusters episode.

I just Googled 'phosgene welding hoax' and got a whole lot of genuine hits warning of the dangers of phosgene production during welding - US dept of Health and Safety for one.

<< When this chemical is exposed to excessive heat and the gas argon, >>
Argon is inert, does not take part in any chemical reactions.
Phosgene is formed by decomposition of chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents by ultraviolet radiation. It reacts with moisture in the lungs to produce hydrogen chloride, which in turn destroys lung tissue. For this reason, any use of chlorinated solvents should be well away from welding operations or any operation in which ultraviolet radiation or intense heat is generated.
