I removed a 110 gallon diesel tank this past winter. It was empty when I bought the boat but it still had some fumes. I did some research about the volatility of diesel. You could throw a cigarette or match into it and it won't light. I just took my sawzall and cut away at the tank. I removed the top first and then wiped out the tank so I wouldn't have as much of a mess in the boat. I then proceeded to cut the rest of the tank with the sawzall. I had 2 spots that I took a right angle grinder to because the sawzall wouldn't work there. The tank was well cleaned up by then and there wasn't any concern of problems.
Good luck
