One of my first TLUDs , in the pre modern era, was made with a
combination of milk can and propane cylinder. I would remove the
valve and fill with water and cut with a angle grinder until I had
a vent opening to adequately release any over pressures due to
rapid ignitions. Detonations are another matter. When cutting with
acetylene and oxygen, if you momentarily snub the torch and
extinguish the flame the gasses can fill a closed container and
then ignite on an ember with dangerous yield. Almost "blew-it" a
few weeks ago when lighting a Dasifier. Ka bang! Of the three
accidents that week, that was the one I didn't end up in ER for. <br>

Any how for nostalgia sake, 15 years ago......<br>

A water filled tank tends to be messy during cutting, but it shows
a good thought, don't die trying to cut a tank! It is safest to
cut it underwater with the tank filled with water, but that is not
a trivial task. After flushing with hot air, try putting car
exhaust into the tank, it will not make it safe, but it will be
safer since exhaust contains less oxygen than air.<br>
