I welded up gas tanks before. First I have to take the sender out. Then if I smell fumes I'll flush it with water, and blow dry it. I don't think there will be any fumes because that hole has been in it for a long time. It gets real hot here in the High Desert, and that should have dried all the fumes out of it. I hope. Worst case I'll hook a hose from a running engine's exhaust pipe while welding it. A quick way would be to throw a match in it. NOT!!!
