I never thought about foolin with a gas tank until last year, this simplicity 4040, hangin out in my garage needed some work, tank leaked at the tube connections, so I had to drain it, let it dry up, and it still took about 8 white tip matches tossed in to fire off all the residual fumes, each time a nice hard roaring flame, like a rocket engine, came out.

Gasoline fumes are unreal, I used to love and still do on occasion, blowing up the burn barrel with a hint of gas on it to start a fire, from a distance with lit rag on a stick, but actually, it's really dangerous material and should be left alone, one stupid mistake and......

I'd bet that tank is fried if it was a hot fire, did you find any cracks in it afterward, that thin steel won't like getting too hot, but it don't matter anyways if you make a forge out of it now.
