great way to blow up your face.. seen it before.. if the tank is expired.. its expired for a reason. i woulndt trust tremclad with my life.. you can get a same size reservoir tank for around 50$. dont fuck around and go with approved stuff.
WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD ANYONE WANT TO CONVERT A PROPANE TANK TO AN AIR TANK??? Propane expands 265 times its volume. I put a quick release air chuck on them, fill all my tires from jeep to motor home with propane, then I use my air wrench to break down the lugs with the propane tank before I take off the tire. I use my air tools with the propane tank as well. Perfectly safe that is less you smoke or have an open flame about. This was taught to me by a propane company in Phoenix Arizona...
@crashcyberdrive No pressure, no worries...there's no oxygen inside, it can't burn...also, I said to heat the thread, not set it on fire, the 80-120°C needed to loosen the epoxy is nowhere near ignition temperature...
@AKAtheA I too would agree to heat up the threads to make the valve easier to remove but at Zero PSI it's possible for oxygen to enter the tank if you open the valve to regular atmosphere.
@AKAtheA That's assuming that one doesn't overheat the joint. It's not good practice to make assumptions on safety matters when giving others potentially fatal advice/info.
@killer2600 overheat?! With what? I never said to use an oxyacetylene torch, a simple heat gun will do, it also doesn't have just enough power to gently heat it...
@AKAtheA Again your assuming, you never said what to heat it with and I will assume most people with the tools and desire to undertake the conversion would likely heat the threadlock with a propane or similar torch rather than a hair dryer or heat gun.
@killer2600 a common household propane torch cannot "overheat" the thread, it just doesn't have the power...
The point is to heat the thread to 100°C or so, not to melt the damn thing off, if someone is trying to do this and is not using his brain, for the sake of humanity, we should allow Darwin's theory to take course...
@AKAtheA A propane torch has enough heat to ignite propane and I cover my ass because where I come from people have successfully sued places like mcdonalds for accidentally spilling hot coffee on themselves on the premise that the "hot coffee" was "Hot"
I did something like this quite a few years ago, but just got the adapter to go from the normal propane tank fitting to a 1/4" NPT thread and then went from that to a normal quick disconnect air hose fitting. I just needed it as a portable air tank, so I would fill it with my compressor and then take it to my hangar for when I needed to top off the tires on my plane.
@ryanfenters where can i buy a (idont know how its called in english) i think its barometer?or airmeter? thats is more than 10 bars,? cause i cant find one anywhere

You ran an airtube for 24 hours to dry it? Are you stupid? Place it in a preheated oven, turn off... walk away... 20 minutes later... DRY! Also... 2x4/strap.wrench??? Threadlocker removes with HEAT, place a torch on threads and turn wrench... DONE.
Lol.. at "33 secs" I love that... (right above the explosive fire sticker) you stick a potential sparking metal rod to check content!!! Dumbshit! Try a wood stick next time.
Yeah they love that... when you tear open the packages! (Did it today at HDepot!)
Can you do the math for me on volume? I have a 4" square tube bumper (3/16 wall), that is 56" long. What is my internal volume of air? (and what would max safe pressure be? -assuming all welds are valid and strong)

@ZstripeW All 20 pound propane tanks I've seen have a standard 3/4" NPT pipe fitting, the same as home heating natural gas line. A good hardware store will stock everything you need. The tee connects to some standard adapters to reduce the size to match the valve and compressed air fitting.
The best way to make the adapter is to build it up at the hardware store, it's much easier to figure out what you need with the parts in front of you.

pour alcohol in the tank to absorb the moisture, then the alcohol will evaporate more quickly

At 9:46 Did you speed up the video or does the compressor build that fast or Did you Transfer air from another tank?

@ryanfenters That's actual speed. I had filled the tank with water to take up most of the volume, the compressor basically just had to fill the hose.

Wouldnt a ruberised coating inside the tank be safer than a hard paint?

@Zagroseckt No... a coating would likely breakdown, and clog the workings.
