Just a word of warning. If this is a used gas tank, make sure you fill it
completely with water before getting any heat near it. Fill it, drain it,
fill it again, drain it, and keep doing that until you know you won't be
blown across the garage. I think there is a chemical that you can use to
neutralize the volatile fumes, but I don't know what it is.
Less important (obviously) if it's a new tank.
