One of my old high school teachers collects old harleys. He was welding on a tank from a 1940 something or other that hadn't had anything in it for over 20 years. Guess what ????.........KAAABOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!! He learned his lesson, and got his hearing back a day later.... Gotta have something in it, I'd rather have water than compressed air. Those gas vapors stay in there well after you think they're gone. I once had to torch off the old bumper brackets on my dad's F150 and that was right next to the tank. I had him go fill it at the pump first so there wasn't any vapors there. I'm still here so it worked. I wouldn't recommend welding on a full tank of gas though......... Donovan from Wisconsin
