Keep it in mind that if you take a grinder or sander to a gas tank you can very
easily create a spark. Gas doesn't need a flame to ignite, just a spark - ex:
spark plug....

Gas tanks are just plain dangerous. However driving a car can also be very
dangerous - it just depends on how you handle the situation. As we all know
now, winching is also pretty dangerous, working under heavy 13,000 lb trucks can
be dangerous, climbing ladders can be very dangerous, working with electricity
can be dangerous.. the list goes on...

Be careful out there!
