I think a water tank is what the industry calls a "confined space", and although it may not seem very dangerous, it very well could be. You shouldn't get into one without a safety person nearby in case something really bad happens, and a readily accessible (read: interior ladder) exit. I know that sounds excessive but it's always better to be safe than sorry.
Just my $.02 of course. Ned
