Frank,
I've done tanks a few times. I never use a torch. I submerge them
in water (so the entire tank is below the water surface and the top
of the tank is 1/4 - 1/2 inch below the water surface). I use a hand
grinder to cut out a square hole on the top of the tank large enough
to reach into (about 6"x6"). This will give access to the pick up
tube. A plate with a rubber gasket will close up the tank.
I've see them done with a torch by filling them with CO2 also.
Kevin
