Fuel tank stud repair

Speedwagon

New member
Hello. I am in the process of relocating my fuel tank (by process, I mean prepping a used tank). Instead of cutting the nose off the midship tank for the 4x4 conversion, I opted to purchase a used aft-axle tank. Went to pull the pump, and it took off 3 of the bolts. They appear to be inserted and welded from the inside. Anyone have tips for fixing this now?

My first thought is to rinse the tank with water and eliminate gas fumes, then drill and reweld maybe?
