An excellent use of the old LP tanks. Little to no danger if you "purge" the tank(s) ahead of time with some inert gas. I used to push a fat rubber tube into the exhaust of the car I was working on. Start it up, and shove the other end into the filler neck of the gas tank. So I could weld up/patch the leak in the tank. It's just a matter of keeping the O
2 out of the mix. I've also used retired hot water heaters for the same task. They make great compressor tanks. The leak(s) are easy to weld up ahead of time, and plumbing them for (water) drainage is simple. People always say "aren't you afraid those tired tanks will explode"? To which I say no. They might spring another leak. But they'll never explode into shrapnel. Sheesh!
Anyway, no jeers, just cheers. A great find indeed!
