The water will work for getting it apart but when you go to re-weld it being water filled makes it hard to weld. When I use inert gas in them I am using a tee flowing off of my wire welder tank regulator. So it is putting a little pressure on the tank so even with hole it is safe. I weld dividers into fuel tanks all of the time for hydraulic tanks for semi wet kits. When I am doing this I may have five inch holes in the tank. The key is just don't let there be enough oxygen mix with the old fuel vapors to cause an explosion.
Think about weather this is worth the risk??? A new tank is only $135.00. That will be clean and ready to go. If you have the skills to fix your tank then do some repairs for someone else and make the money needed for the tank. I used to try to do it all too. Then I found out I was wasting too much time doing things that could be done better ways. Learning when to pull the plug is hard to do.
