I have done this many times.first wash out tank with liwuid gunk degreaser.flush it good with water.but tank on bench.stick airhose in tank low preasure.leave tank sit 5 minutes.leave airhose in while welding.no stangent fumes no explosion.a old mortorcycle mechanic taught me that 50 years ago

filling it with co2 from a fire extinguisher works pretty good.
