no worries about cutting into that it has diesel ( fuel oil is #4 deisel fuel)in it. deisel is not explosive. however, it is combustible. take the tank to a car wash. fill it with the water from the engine wash setting. then drain it and rinse it real good. try cutting into it with a sawzall instead of a torch. if you use the degreaser it should not have and problems. if you use a torch you may want to consider filling it with water while you cut. cut downward and the water will drain only as fast as you cut.
check out these plans for some tips. http://www.exit201.com/cyclops/cyclops.shtml
