I took another quick look at the tank tonight. Both ends are ruptured so I’ll have to remove the end pieces and figure out how to undo the crimping. I suspect both baffles have popped looking at how the parts of the tank are more “round” than other parts. Removing the end caps will also be good for getting the inside completely clean.
As for lingering fumes. The fire would have burned off anything that was still there.
The double tank is 41” long, 18” high and 12” wide. It works out to about 30 imperial gallons. The filling spot definitely isn’t handy.
