No need to fill it. Just take it off and leave it in the sun for a few days.
The tank has no fuel left inside she already drained it, the water displaces any residule fumes left behind - eliminating a possible explosion. My 1rst choice would have been cabon monoxide which is easy to generate, cheap and very portable as you can drive your tuck within close proximity to the tank that needs purging.
Other choices for inert gas to purge a fuel tank of explosive fumes are carbon dioxide, helium or nitogen, portability of tanks makes their use inconveiniant in the feild.
