I've welded quite a few gas tanks. I just drain the gas out and let it sit open for three or four days and wait for the fumes to vacate. Sometimes if there is too much fumes I will run some compressed air into it at about 2 psi for a couple of hours before welding. Occasionally the gas will ignite but since the filler cap is off it makes a little noise and shoots a small flame out the neck. Then it doesn't present a problem anymore. The first couple of times I welded a gas tank I put a flaming rag on the end of a 10' stick and ran it past the filler neck to see if it would blow. I soon found out that wasn't necessary.
I've also tried to fill small holes with JB Weld. It won't work unless you use a fuel tank liner like Red-Kote. The gas they make today will eat up JB Weld.
