I have welded many petrol tanks. Before I ever welded one I wanted to see how bad an explosion was caused. I took a freshly emptied tank , put an oxy acetylene flame to the side of the tank and ran. After maybe 30 seconds there was a big bang, the tank flew about 8 feet in the air and came down again. The tank was all bulged out all over, and with a scattering of small holes with the edges turned inwards.

Welding was always done safely after that with every tank 9 tenths filled with water. A few little flames but never an explosion. Usually welded with oxy, but some with MIG later.
