If you can disconnect the fuel lines, you could just flush the tank out with water a few times until you no longer smell gas or diesel. You can cut steel with a sawzall, but if it's thicker than 1/32 inch it will take forever. If you can get a 4 1/4 grinder with a razor blade you can chop the tank up in pieces, but it will still take some time. The best way to cut steel is with a torch, but you'll have to be really careful not to burn your boat down.
