It’s a plastic fuel tank so no matter what it is not going to cause a spark with the axe popping a hole into it for removing the fuel from said tank. In AZ they require that the vehicle can’t have a fuel tank, battery, Freon, coolant or oil when taking vehicles to the scrap yard to crush them.

They had Porsche, Audi and Corvette vehicles and some trucks.

Your supposed to use a hollow brass spike on a transmission jack, the brass spike penetrates the tank without risking a spark and drains the fuel through a pipe to a suitable container.
Junk yards do this too, and it pisses me off because they advertise that they have gas tanks for sale and you go under there, and every single gas tank has got a big ass f****** hole in it. If you're going to punch holes in them, don't list that you have them for sale.
Me too. I found this out after crawling under 7 or 8 of them to pull a tank. Holes to big to patch. Waste of a good part. They could at least save a few of them.

I worked at a Ford dealership back in the '70s and that's how we drained gas tanks. You won't get a spark as a punch goes through the tank because there's gasoline at the bottom of the tank.

In the scrap yard or pull-a-part they have to remove the fuel oil etc. so it won't get into the ground.

It's a wrecking yard /dismantler yard, they buy crashed vehicles from auction and sale the good parts. Employees take the gas. You can see all the doors on racks on left side. I used to work for a dismantler yard.
I worked the gas out barn at an LKQ. Prepped for dismantling as they called it. I had an air ratchet with a step bit covered by a CV boot with a hose to a pump. They sold the gas back to us once a week for $1/gal.
I worked at a junkyard as a teen in the 80s. We’d cut the straps w/bolt cutters to drop the tank. Then take a hatchet to the corner and proceed to dump the gas in 5 gallon buckets and then dumped the buckets in a big tank for reusing the gas.
I used to work at a salvage yard, The first thing they would do is drain all the fluids and then cut the engine and transmission out . They had a siphon pump .

No risk of a spark. It's like shooting a gun at a gas tank, you get a hole. You watch to many movies and believe what your watching is real. Typical of entitled Harris/Biden Democrats
Nothing happens even if it's gasoline. Liquid gasoline is going to be on the bottom of that tank, liquid gasoline does not burn. Is the vapors that burn. And even then it has to be just the right mix of oxygen for ignition to happen with a spark. The chances of that perfect mix happening inside of a gas tank is extremely low, like ridiculously low numbers.
@doneagan2094 liquid gasoline is not flammable. That's what he meant. Gas has to be oxidized to become flammable. The fumes emitted by gasoline are flammable and combustible the liquid gasoline is not. If you do like the movies and flick a little cigarette into a pool of gas, it will just extinguish the cigarette with no flames.
@Mylliagamer I started a few fires with gasoline, and it ignites immediately. To the point that it almost got me a few times. Why would it be different out of a gas tank?

The tank is definitely metal. The plastic tank cover is definitely plastic. Rhere will never be a spark feom the ax, tank, or plastic tank cover because the vehicle is grounded by the lift. But more importantly, the plastic cover literally grounds the ax as soon as it makes contact. It actively releases any static charge that may magically occur in the minds of the less knowledgeable. Its designed to crass and not explode.
I work at a scrap disposal for a few summers with my friend as a cars get put on the conveyor belt to get shredded. I operated a D9 dozer and pushed the scrap already. The size of a Coke can over to the magnet where my friend was operating. He also would put it on a conveyor belt And going into the hall of a ship or another friend on a smaller dozer spread around scrap. Every once in awhile a gas tank had fumes some vapours and it would blow up as it was getting chopped up. We would stop walk over to the conveyor belt and see how much damage it did. Have to repairing the housing in case of things like this happening made the repairs back to work. From San Diego, California.
Had an uncle back in the day that used to do a similar thing except it wasn't gasoline he was draining out of moonshine out of it. Had an extra tank hidden underneath the car. 60 gallon. He would sell 50 gallons and keep 10 for himself. Really clever idea until he got himself caught by an even more clever Police K9-Unit.
Junkyards are becoming useless when parts are not reusable. One example, I've seen the rear seats get bent out of shapes so that the change that falls back there are collected. So forget ever trying to replace yours, if you need to.
I’ve done this several times working in a shop that recycled cars it’s not a big deal. Putting the gas in a five gallon jug like that looks pretty dumb though tbh
It's safe even if it was metal. You might cause a spark, but with that volume of gasoline, a spark wouldn't have a chance igniting it. Now if it were and empty tank with fumes, you could be asking for trouble. there's no pain like that of a 3rd degree burn over 60% of your body.
