Looks more like a 3 ton tank to me. Especially considering there is a CMP to the right with it's tank out, and looking at the long neck of the tank.

I have repaired a number of tanks over the years, and am still nervous each and every time.

I echo Rob's comment about being nervous... The gas in my M37 tank was so old, you probably couldn't get it to ignite if you tried, but none the less I washed the tank out 4-5 times with hot (boiling) soapy water, and then left a fan blowing air through it for 24 hours. You could still detect a very faint smell of old gas and soap after it dried out. Even after all that, I was nervously expecting some kind of a puff or other reaction when I sunk the zip disk into it to cut it open... paranoid...?
