You won't be able to solder the tank with water in it. That would be like sweating water pipes with water in them. I have soldered and electric welded on several gas tanks with no problem. If you open up as many holes on the tank as possible if the fumes ignite it will just burn instead of explode. It's when you contain the fumes it gets dangerous. I normally set out a tank open for a couple of days sometimes with a air hose run it it to dry it out first. Then I put a flame to the fill neck to be sure before I start. Regular solder won't adhere to steel, you will need silver solder to do it. After the job is done be sure to pour in a fuel tank liner to further seal it and prevent future leaks. I normally use Red-Kote.
