But you are seriously underestimating the dangers of a air tank failing.
For fun calculate the volume of air at atmospheric pressure that is held in a air tank at 120 psi. It's unbelievable how much energy is contained in even a small 20 gallon compressor tank.
Discard the old tank, it's absolutely not worth the risk.

X2. An air compressor tank is a certified pressure vessel. Any changes (cutting, welding, etc.) compromises the original engineer's certification.
