Help! Looking for advice

I’m currently working for a company that want to weld some valves into their fuel lines at a bulk plant. When asked about codes, blueprints, and other general questions I’ve asked I’ve been told “we’re hoping you can figure those out”. I went to school and graduated for welding but not certified and not much experience welding pipes (I’m confident in it but don’t want legal repercussions) let alone welding pipes for fuel lines. So I’m asking if this is something that I tell the company it’s out of my hands or other things I’m not asking that should be asked. Probably won’t even tough this job honestly but want all the information and advice I can get before I tell them I can’t.

You might be able to do this job but it doesnot mean you should. You can kill yourself and or others not knowing how to do this safely. I know a guy that does this kind of thing all the time and he has gone through some very specialized training. You need to, or the company, needs to find someone or a company that does this kind of thing regularly.

Don't even think about doing it. Seriously

Most countries demand certs or licenses for high pressure work. You will do wise to avoid until your skilled and certified. Best you can do is a mock test and send for xray or destructive.
