A retired USAF aircraft welder had taught me to wash the tank with dawn dish soap or simple green and water. Once flushed, the tank has to be welded with in 30min. He said, if you can smell gas fumes, continue to flush the tank. Most of the time, I will fill the tank full of water, then weld the crack or seam. It just makes me feel better
