left-4-dead-2
When playing Left 4 Dead 2, my team-mates and I are struggling to kill a tank fast enough.
It always seems to be able to last a long time even when we are all firing on it. This also means it has more time incap some of us, making it harder to finish the level.
Is there a fast way to kill a tank?
Valve removed the vocalization commands to stop people spamming in multiplayer games, all that is left are the speech wheel that come up when you press z or x (using default controls).
Edit: This is the very hacky way of doing it through the radial commands which may or may not work.
The safest place, by definition is the safe room.
Other safe places are rooms with doors closed, of course until infected destroy them. And in general all places that can have only few entrances (one or two) so that they can be easily guarded by your team mates. Trucks, garages, rooms and so on.
If you are instead searching places where infected cannot reach you, they probably go under definition of maps bugs/exploits. Because for sure map designer/developers do not want to add places where you can safely stay without being reached by infected.

Molotovs are definitely your friend when it comes to Tanks. You should make sure he is ALWAYS on fire. They do quite a bit more damage than you'd realize.
From there, if you don't have any heavy weapons, your next best bet is an automatic shotgun. Run in, pump him with rounds, then run out. This is especially effective if somebody else has his attention.
There are plenty of other things that work, but
molotovs + auto shottys = winfor me.
