I need to make sure it won't explode and was thinking about letting it
sit in the sun open for a few days then fill it completely with water.

Any other ideas?

I believe that radiator shops can soak the gas out (dunno how, saw it
here I think). I _do_ know that if you take it to a professional paint
stripper there won't be any gas left in it (or paint on it for that
matter) when they're done. If you're fixing rust problems this might be
the way to go.

I've only worked on one tank, we had it professionally stripped.
Nothing exciting happened.
