Homemade Small engine Gas Tank Part 1

good idea

the few times I have had to do this (I make sure it's empty and bled) I do that first cut or drilling in water. I figured if the tank is say full of lpg and it punch a hot bit threw with no air around it can't burn. I don't know just throwing my 2 cent in.

FYI, propane and propane based gases (i.e.:MAPP, Chemolene, Propylene) are heavier than air so leaving it upside down will facilitate in the evacuation of any leftover gas! Also, oxygen and oil don't get along! An explosion will ensue!

I like to shoot the top area of the tank to make sure they're empty of everything. Ive had a few fly a few feet, but they dont explode, a hole is just made. Much quicker, and if youre a good shot, you can do it from a distance for increased safety. I used to do this on the larger propane tanks when Id scrap em. Id shoot the valve on those while they were chained to a tree.

Just fill the tank with water and go ahead and cut it then it will leak out some water but there is no gas left to ignite

Bought 5, pounders, shot them all with my 50. Didn't have time to bleed them off individually. Am having a hard time finding all the pieces. Any suggestions? :D

I remove the 2 valves the main on the top and the one on the side and blow some air in to it to move all left over gas.

How many PSI does the 1pound tank withstand as a maximum?

Great video you should make a video of makeing a gas tank out of a portable air tank

Could this be done with an old fire extinguisher?

Drill it in a pan under water.

This guy is actually stupid for thinking oxygen isn't flammable🤣
Still a great video though

You should realize that who ever is building a gas tank knows what is going on you sound like a broken record
