Angle it so the bit you need to weld is right up at the top, fill it with water to as close as you can to where u need to weld, the fuel can't explode without any air to burn with, even if it does, it'll only be a little pop anyway.

Shouldnt be dangerous, as long as you angle it so that the air-pocket is as small as possible.

just waitin for a call from a guy who said he can do it for me 2ma prob so will b sorted gotta empty the tank and get it out later then. off to volksbits now to get wheel cylinder

Is it worth sealing the tank while it's out? Last thing you wanna do is dislodge a bit of crud and end up with a blocked carb.
