At half a tank I have no gas showing nor splashing in my gauge. I will suggest you try and find and remove the missing float, as it may sink and cover the gas outlet like with my late 31 tank. I need to remove a missing float because it is causing flow issues :-(

Your right, a half a tank of gas won’t give off any vapor? Really?
I still say to empty it and let it breath. Yes there is still vapor, but at least there should be no gas to add more vapor.
I would plan for what could happen and hope that everything goes all right.
Also. Anyone who would think about welding a full tank of gas, would not be work for me. Sounds like a war story.
