This may sound really silly but if you were going to do this kind of work on a non metal airplane wouldn't it be prudent to drain the fuel and leave the caps off to vent out the fumes.
This would leave nothing that will burn/explode.
I would not have given it a thought if I had not heard of this incident
My airplane will have neither fuel or fuel vapors in the tanks after hearing about this incident when it is time to paint.
 
I am happy no one was hurt.
 
Just a thought...
