Hi Denny, Water works very well as long as the tank remains full or close to full while welding.
The same holds true for co2, arogon, and nitrogen. One puts a piece of masking tape over the filler spout taping the feed hose tight, then flow enough displacement gas for a good flow out of the fuel outlet. Needs to purge displcement gas for 5 minutes on a normal 10 to 15gal tank where you can feel the gas flow on the plam of your hand about 2" away. Not a area to go cheap and cut down the flow while welding. Arogon works the best as it's heavier than abiment air thus staying in the tank longer even after the source is cut off. The object of any displacement is to keep the remaining gas fumes to a non flash point. Some exhaust from gas engines contain enough gasoline mix in the exhaust to run another engine with that gasoline supply shut off. I've seen a demo of this but never tried it and that was also before everything was fuel injected as with fuel injection I don't see where there would be a problem but I still don't recomend using exhaust for a fist time learning experience.
