I would never strike an arc on a tank unless it was full of water, don't think I would trust the air line deal, saw a guy welding on a diesel fuel tank for a case tractor that way once, and only once, don't think he ever worked again after that, then the guy east of my folks place was welding a nipple into a propane tank, never knew how he tried it, I herd the explosion from about 3 miles away, wasn't much left of the garage, he was on what was left of the garage floor, roof, in the trees, his wife was running around out of her head and the dogs had pieces of him, that must have been 20 years ago, people just have no idea how much energy these tanks have in them when they go, the propane tank will kill you, the gas tank might only loose your arms hands and sight. It's pretty hard for something to explode if it's full of water, just use your head and be careful, you probably have just enough time to know you made a mistake and it's lights out with some of these..
