Your joking right? If you fill the tank with water you will never be able
to solder it, ever try soldering plumbing fittings (copper that is) when
water is in the pipe? Not to mention the added difficulty of trying to lay
down some lead with water pissing out of the hole(s).
As to explosion potential from a soldering iron, I don't see the problem.
Just empty the tank and leave it open for a week or so. I mean, be carefull
but let's not over do it. If it was that dangerious most of us would not be
here now to talk about it.
