I've done it professionally for 20 years. Only one way I'll do it. Take out all fittings. Steam clean it for an hour. (I have a special multi-directional nozzle for the steamer). Purge with argon gas to at least 2 exchanges. (Some say more). I cover opening with duct tape, not plugs. Weld with argon in tank. If it's rusted through you'll need to find good metal and patch. If there's lots of rust pits get a new tank or replace the whole bottom. i have occasionally welded on large tanks with the steam on. Or you can use car exhaust and maybe you'll be ok.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
