get some cannon fuse. stick it inside the tank out in a pasture someplace. light the fuse and drive away in your pick up. see what happens.

Fibrous inside , it sounds like a old acetylene tank, question is ,do you feel lucky. ^^^^This^^^^^ Google should tell you what "honeycomb" made of and whether it is safe to cut it or not I cannot remember anyone ever cutting one that I know I would be leery of it myself, and I have cut a propane tank

If I did, I would fill it with water first. I always heard filling with water is one of the worse ways to try this. There will always be an air pocket somewhere and if there "was" enough gas in there before water you can bet that pocket will go boom when u hit it. Nothing with a vessel and cutting is safe but when I've done it it was all openings wide open and slowly approach with lit torch and if there's gas hope it burns as I get close instead of explodes. I've been in a hole where an open pipe belched flames and I didn't like it. You could here it coming but only enough time to lay down in hole below pipe and hope it was only a little gas. We always purged with nitrogen I believe. But it's been a few years.

Can't tell if you are worried about the asbestos or gas. Of ot the asbestos then throw a bit if the material in a hot fire or hit it with a torch if it don't burn and almost gets cleaner in the heat its it's probably not a great thing to get in your lungs. If you are worried about an explosion find something else to cut lol
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

As I've matured I've mostly adopted the principle that if I have to ask myself "what's the worst that can happen " I don't do it. I've learned the hard way I usually find out what's the worst that can happen and it's mostly worse than I had planned for. With that said I've met some people that can regularly pull some stupid stuff off regularly and it goes smoothly every time for them but I sure ain't one of them...
You must be adopted because your sister Callie ain't skeered and she never will be LOL
