not as dangerous as it is made out to be.
I had the gas tank on my JD lawn tractor develop a leak on a seam.
I drained the gas, took the tank off, left it sit overnight to let whatever gas was left in it evaporate.
This morning i blew it out for a couple minutes with the air gun.
Then i laid the tank outside under a heavy peace of metal to keep scrapnel from flying in case it exploded.

Then I soldered the leak in tank with no problem, case closed.
