Quick Opinion
I need to weld in a small piece on the gearbox mount. Which right next to the fuel tank. Just as a precautionary, I drained the tank and filled it up
with water. Is it still unsafe to do this procedure?

tank out = painful job
fuel fumes are the thing that goes bang not so much the liquid..
be bloody careful with what ever you do..
safest to take out tank really..
