how to cut up a metal water tank?

I have an anglegrinder...

Cutting disk is great if it's outdoors, but not if it's still in situ
(spark hazard) - use a reciprocating saw instead. I'd go for a "sabre
saw" size rather than a jigsaw, as a cheap sabre saw is useful for
firewood too, a cheap jigsaw no use for anything - especially not
after this sort of work.

If it's a _large_ attic, a hefty (6lb-ish) axe works pretty well.
Quicker and quieter too. You don't necessarily need to cut it up, just
fold it into a flat package to fit through the hatch.

If it's a slate tank, take it apart _very_ carefully and sell the
panels.

Nah. Leave it up there. Its warm and dry and shouldnt cause a problem.
Why do you want to take it away?
