I have a deal with ameri gas and heritage propane to take all tanks regardless of condition that are out of Hydrostatic date. they come to me off gassed and sometimes devalved. so they are empty when we get them. if there is not a valve in a tank you can safely cut into a tank meaning if you can see into the tank with a flashlight it is safe. the oil residue left behind is combustible but has a very high point of ignition. The oil is not flammable. it will catch on fire but rarely will sustain a flame. We have cut probably 200 tanks without water but THEY DO NOT HAVE VALVES ON THEM. We never buy tanks from an individual don't need that headache. lol... the off gassing of propane is better left to those with the proper equipment and training.
We use a plasma cutter to cut the pits and smokers
