You may want to reconsider welding on a compressed gas tank. I know, I 
know, the tank is empty. If you weld on a tank you will de-rate the tank 
to a point where it will be dangerous. You will have no way to know how 
much pressure the tank will safely hold. If you are cutting up the tank 
to use as art or sculpture, you should be able to buy old tanks for the 
price of their salvage value in scrap metal.
