Fill the tank with petrol. Petrol doesnt burn, Just the vapour. Keep an extinguisher handy but you will be 100% fine

Just don't concentrate your grinder sparks in one area maybe enough to heat the tank up enough to cause BANG. Probally an obvious point to make.

Yea it is. As stated fuel doesnt burn or explode. If there is no empty space in the tank above the fuel there is no vapour to ignite inside the tank. Tanks explode due to the vapour inside igniting causing expansion and a split tank then fuel everywhere vapourising then chain reaction BOOM
