Welding a diesel tank should always done with the tank full. I have done it several times, or if that's not possible pump it full of argoshield to expell the oxygen. Or in extreme circumstances drain the tank and fill it with water.

 

Just make sure you get rid of the fumes.

Surely he had removed the filler cap, It may subsequently ignite traces of diesel vapour but would only then be a volcano out of the filler neck not an explosion. If he hadnt removed the filler cap he was a fool

[fuzzyduck]

the same, but on an enterprise scale.

The only safe way to weld a fuel tank is to have someone else weld it for you....
