I don't have any good stories about blowing up gasoline tanks and I don't know exactally how you make them safe to work on but I have done some pretty dumb things that I wondered about after. A tank empty of liquid but full of fumes is a bomb. Gasoline fumes are heavier than air and will stay in the tank. Even cleaning around a tank hole to prep it for epoxy can cause a spark and then your Porsche looks like it was last driven by a Baghdad suicide bomber. There is a proceedure for venting the tanks that maybe others on this site can help you with.
