IMHO i would do both. no point bolting onto rust/hole/"pooh" only pull out in an accident. replace/plate ALL rust and then use one of these as a spreader. in my converted van ive got a piece of angle iron bolted across with spreaders , my kids aint going nowhere!!

yes they will, clear out crud/rust behind aswell, if you try to remove the hoses that go to the top of the tanks you may snap them off. might be better to cut them off and plug the hose or just leave them dangling.

but if you leave them dangling on the hoses whilst welding, cover them with a soaking wet towel in case any molten bits drop on em
