This topic gets questioned, and cautioned several times a year, so if you go back and do a search you"ll probably come up with half a million ways to do it, and twice the amount of reasons not to.
That said, my advice every time someone asks is to recommend dry ice. It's readily available from several different grocery stores (at least around here), and it's cheap.

Too if you put in several pieces, it constantly replentishes itself.
That said I have repaired quite a few gas, diesel, and kerosene tanks using it and given that I am still here to type this it must work pretty well. Not to mention the outfit I got the trick from (via my Dad) used it in cutting up underground gas tanks in order to scrap them.
