Who here has actually engaged in the dangerous task of cutting and welding on a used fuel tank?

I have heard lots of different ways of preparing the tank to make sure it's safe but it still concerns the crap outta me to take sparks and heat to such a dangerous unit. Some people wash it out thoroughly with warm soapy water and others hook up the exhaust pipe for 20 mins to kill the dangerous vapours with carbon monoxide.

Any feedback from others who have done this would be much appreciated. I will only be doing this once I have all the info from someone who's done it safely and sucessfully.
