RE: Petrol station
This question needs to be asked to your local regulatory authorities, and to the original manufacturer of the tank.
I suspect I know what the answer will be, but I will defer that to the official sources.
RE: Petrol station
In practice/real life probably not. Just too difficult to get a gasoline tank gas free.
No details so no real way to answer this question I'm afraid.

The water's a good idea to, but that does create a wastewater disposal problem.

Depending on the position of the welds, the tank could be filled with water, then drain 20% or whatever to get the level below the weld height.

That said, I would not waste time worrying about "how", and start looking for "who". The who will know how.
RE: Petrol station
Thinking some more though, the thing to do is fillet weld on a surface contoured weldolet / nozzle, taking care not to burn a hole in the tank...., then simply drill though slowly using a drill inside the pipe through a valve which you connect directly onto the new pipe. As soon as your drill is through, remove, close valve and connect on as you want.
