Well ,yes. But I wouldn't bother with all the cleaning and purging. that will cost you more than the hardware. I take the lid off, properly secure the opening, attach a proper connection AWAY from the tank, and then put the lid back. The instrument must, of course, be either explosion proof or intrinsically safe. I would prefer X-proof for a one-of application in an environment with inexperienced people.
