He's very lucky if he wasn't seriously hurt when that went bang. A friend of mine had a fuel tank go out through the wall of his asbestos garage when he was brazing up a pinhole in a tank he thought was clean.
The couple of times I've worked on old fuel tanks I've always steamed them out before filling them with water to just below the repair area. Even after gingerly poking the lit torch down the filler hole before starting work I've not found them a relaxing thing to be mending.
