How to make a Flamethrower ( flame Thrower )

I forgot to include that in order to extend the blow torch just cut the nozzle past the gas valve and before the flange and attach a hose in between also try not to use any type of glue as gasoline will break down most over time.

QUESTION.. ok so ur air compressor is mounted onto the 'gun' or is it just used to compress the gas and then removed. If it is mounted on what size did u have?

[DKGrayWolf]

Actually the back tank holds the Gas and then is charged by an air compressor. there is no compressor on the flamethrower. it is just a tank with gasoline and compressed air like a big supersoaker

[32ml400]

orr ok that makes sense... so the air compressor fitting is placed to allow the air compressor to charge the gasoline? but shouldn't it have a valve after the air compressor fitting to avoid the pressure to ' be lost'

[DKGrayWolf]

I thought I mentioned that in the video if not then yes immediately after the air compressor fitting you need a ball valve so you can shut off the fitting wen you remove the air hose

[kilrkyle]

Aren't you afraid of the fuel and compressed air in the tank exploding like a bomb? I mean you've got all the components for an explosion. All you need is a spark. Shouldn't you compress it with nitrogen or co2 or at least have a check valve?

[DKGrayWolf]

A check valve is pointless as flame cannot travel against the back pressure within the tank. Plus there is no way to create a spark within the tank except to hit it with lightning.

@MrStemkilla I've had much better luck with my gas mix than with a gasoline blend.

@th3boy75 just make red neck napalm with styrofoam but keep it weak so you can still use tanks ind its not as exspensive

[MrStemkilla]

@kyledupont when you are low and the air gas ratio is just right yes it can shoot into the tank and blow up 1 cup of gas is = to one stick of tnt but thats rare but on mine i am using a propane tank to presherise the whole thing but leveing it attached so it should give me panty of psi and propane isn't flammable when it isnt mixed with air and there will be no O2 in my tank

[MrStemkilla]

@SeanTuckerBrett ys you can use pvc but that will blow up under too mutch presher you can make one if you can weld or you can probably get a steel tank meant for a small air compreser maby on ebay as a "replenishment tank"

[MrStemkilla]

@rougeninja99 if you have the tank then it will take as long as you take to get to a hard where store ssnd just thred and solder all the fittings together

[MrStemkilla]

@SpoonfullofSandrock air based fuels will not give you any range at all! a gasoline mix is better than that if you want dissolve some sophomore in it so you have a thin batch of napalm

[rougeninja99]

um how long will it take to make it?

[SpoonfullofSandrock]

If you're REALLY going to make a flamethrower, you don't want to make one with Gasoline.

Use a propane / butane mix, that works best.

@SeanTuckerBrett Use PVC or an Insecticide tank.

That could be your best bet. ;)

Do you know where I can get a oxygen tank or just any used tank for a flamethrower for cheap??
