This is spectacular! A friend told me about this but I was afraid of explosion. I found a larger LP bottle/tank at a garage sale for like $5. My air compressor tank died and I was going to throw it all out. Now I can just convert the LP tank to the compressor. It will be better that ever. Thanks
This is awesome and I am making myself one using your shopping list! I am adding a drain valve at the bottom (drilling a hole and tapping a 1/4 npt thread) so that you can release the remaining air and drain the condensate so this tank doesn't rot out from the inside out as fast.
great idea, I just turn the tank upside down open the valve it blows out any water, your idea is more professional...Thanks Plan B
@@JollyPeanut not really my idea :). The craftsman 25 gallon one I have has a valve like that.
That's awesome, never thought about that. Double thumbs up 👍👍
This is a helpful demonstration 👍🏽 Thank you for sharing your process 🙏🏽
Useful project. I'm going to try this. Thanks John
One other thing I like about these tanks over the commercial variety is that they stand vertically, so they take up less floor space.
Good idea and presentation. A really nice job!
Appreciate the headphone warning. Thank you 🙏
Well done my friend, thank you for the video.
Nice job! Love your music too.
Great work and result.
Nice built...i build mine out of a emty freon gas tank works great to
Brilliant, what a great idea!
this is not new idea
Yes these are also good for aerating your compost pile if you make yourself a 4 ft long 1/8" pipe you can shove it into a compost pile and oxygenate it and it will make compost with less smell and faster. You can also use it in a rocket stove to increase the temperature for faster cooking.
Nice one. Had no idea it had to be drained so thoroughly. I tipped mine upside down for an hour then I grabbed my angle grinder and went to work. I even cut off the top bracket piece so I could get at the rust easier. Then I welded it back on. Thank god I didn't blow up, eh?
Congratulations on the 34k milestone, that’s awesome! You have a great channel and awesome ideas. Liked this so much, I put all the items in cart on Amazon and ima try with or without happy mistakes is questionable tho. Thanks for showing your diy, JP 👋🧸✌️
Thanks SP have a great week
I have made one tank like this, but i used a 30lb tank which for me is still not too heavy and i can fill up my truck tires with the big one. I do not have a compressor so i fill it at shops. I love your gauge, i only added a simple tire inflator to mine so in future maybe i will upgrade.
If your hose and tire gauge are rated for 250 psi, why would you even think of pressurizing the tank to 300 psi???
I was wondering the same thing. You were the last comment. Did you also notice that he used teflon tape on the fitting that has an o-ring? Also the teflon tape was wrapped the wrong direction.
I don't know of any Homeowner air compressors that will go over 175 PSI anyways.
Because he’s a clueless lunatic. If you stop and think of 300lbs being applied to a square inch of your body you’re going to be damaged. Commercial compressors run to a max of 175psi, they have safety valves built in. When your blowing up tyres to high double digit or higher pressures there should be 6’ of hose between the Schrader valve and the gauge / inflator lever too keep the operator out of harms way, if the tyre-wheel is off the vehicle it should be contained in case the tyre casing fails. In the U.K. insurance companies send out specialist engineers to inspect compressors & air receivers on an annual basis, these are compulsory inspections. More worryingly he’s talking about building a compressor 😬
A man after my own heart. I would have cleaned the exterior and interior the same way. The details make the difference.
P. S. I am surprised that you didn't add a pressure gage.
P. P. S. Nevermind, didn't watch long enough. The handheld gage can read tank pressure.
Bloddy good job there.. keep up the videos big fan of your channel
Thanks
Just the UA-cam clip I was looking for... I recently did some DIY repairs to a damaged car door and a bumper on my car. Though the outcome was successful I did go through a number of aerosol cans that never quite produce the results a good spray gun would. Not wanting to buy a compressor, I'm thinking this would be perfect solution for future repairs. From what I've read, you need between 25-30 psi (approx 2 bar) for spraying 2K clear. So with up to 300psi on tap I'm thinking this would provide the 25-30 pressure for a decent amount of time... Thanks for posting...now I'm off to build one! Cheers!
would like to do this with 60lt Soda Stream cylinder with bike pump valve for manually charging it
Great vid thanks, for the other propane tank with inside and outside threads, is there a similar righty-loosy type fitting under the turn knob? Whereby can be cleaned as in this video?
Top job my friend hi from 🇬🇧 uk 👍🏼 liked & subbed
Splendid work mate! Greetings from Sweden.
Thanks & greetings from Southern California 👍
Your video is awesome. That's what I was looking for. I wonder how I can make both male and female on the cylinder so that I can connect it to compressor and also connect a tool.
How you drain the water? Just turn upside down and open it?
Thanks a lot new sub here, been dying to find exactly what's in my mind to do to my empty LPG tank, can't makeup my mind to do it coz i want to know for sure that its safe, so thanks a lot
Nice presentation !I could ad install a gauge psi instrument on thank to monitor tank air as well
Thanks.The tire inflator i use in the video also tells you how much air presure is left in the bottle thats why i did not fit a gauge, buy yes you could easy fit one to the bottle if you wanted to, it would be handy for uses other than just inflating tires.
But really good idea. I would have to make me one of those from a 30lb tank
Great video, sir. How many gallons is the tank capacity?
That’s a very happy color. How about adding a smiley face?
you can also aerate your compost pile if you make yourself a 4 or 6 ft long pipe.
Thats a great idea...Thanks 👍
Another reason for me to keep and recycle my old propane tanks
Cool
Well done! I wonder how hard it would be to plumb a gauge on the tank itself? It might be useful to know how much air is onboard before leaving the garage with the tank.
The inflator gauge i used not only reads the tire pressure it also reads the tank pressure so i don't need one.. but to fit a stand alone gauge is very simple but for me i prefer it as it is less clutter & i can read a very accurate tank & tire pressure.
@@JollyPeanut I was unaware of that feature on the inflation gauge. Thanks!
Would it of been better to use Anti-Freeze so it wouldn't rust inside?
gostei do vídeo criativo
Yellow in Canada means natural gas or propane
Is the blue tape a type of ptfe tape that plumbers use?
Great video. 👍🍀🇮🇪
Yes Blue Monster Brand it's good stuff
lovely content
Thanks
I guess im randomly asking but does anybody know a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Callan Kellan instablaster :)
@Casey Tatum i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Casey Tatum It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account !
to clean out these tanks just take the valve out the tank. it real is not as hard as you might think. especially if the tank has handles like this one. you a big spanner that fit on the vale. poke a long metal pipe through the handles and put a pipe over the spanner then a good hard push and hey presto valve moves.... fill it with water and leave a running hose in it for about 1/2 hour... then tune it upside down and let it stay upside down for a day.. now you have a completely dry tank.. i would not bother paining inside as compressor tanks are not painted inside so why bother with the small tank ? if you do want to paint it then you need to check in some glass beads and roll the tank along the ground for like 20 minutes minimum to clean the side walls so the paint will adhere to it... empty out the glass beadsand now rinse again with water to make sure all out and let dry with it upside down over night. next day you can pour in your paint and then plug the tank with something and swish it around slowly all directions then hang upside down to let all the excess drip out........ when you think its all out then put a bit of rag on your finger , poke in the hole and wipe around. now keeping it upside down leave it at least 48 hours to dry..... once completely dry get a blow lamp and slightly heat the tank on the outside still with valve out. now let cool and you know your paint is dry. time to paint the outside while the valve is still out... paint that area first youl see why in a minute.. paint from the top , all the handles etc and work you way down while its on a table. when almost at the biottom get the valve back in.... valve is only in to be used to hold the tank up in the air so you can paint the bottom and have something to hang the tank by while its drying/ leave till next day now take valve out put on some teflon and put valve in and tighten it down...... now you play with fittings of your choice. BUT NEVER PUT OVER 150 PSI IN THE TANK. IF the tank gets left out in sunlight the pressure will massively rise
Nice, but you wrapped the teflon on counterclockwise vs clockwise on that right-hand thread....
yes corrected mistake off cam, well spotted..
Saw the same thing, had to scroll through the comments to see if anyone had seen it. Good video.
You could fill that tank up with Helium and tie a rope on it and tie the rope to your wrist so your bottle don't float away and then it won't weigh nothing...I've done it to 5 bottles and it works great except I get weird looks from my neighbors 😜.
love it lmao ,have a good'n BlackDog
Awesome video. Quick question. I followed everything you did and added a gauge to mine, but it stops at 100 psi. I can’t add any more air to it. Is there something I did wrong.
It just depends on how much pressure your compressor can produce, most domestic compressors produce far less than what the manufacturer say thay produce.
@@JollyPeanut oh ok. I thought maybe it will just keep on adding air till I stopped it.
@@JollyPeanut oh ok. I thought maybe it will just keep on adding air till I stopped it.
I have never had any air system, am learning bicycle repair and need a way to spray paint. Would it be feasible to use something like this, but fill it up with a large bike pump? how much of a workout would that be?
That would be quite a workout & it would not work for spraying paint, you can pick up used compressors for for cheap i paid $30 for one recently & it works like a charm...
@@JollyPeanut I picked up an old compressor for free. The problem is that I'm afraid of going to max pressue with that one. I wanna change so it shuts down earlier.at the same time I want to increase volume so my compressor won't be running and stopping often
Good video of a well executed project.How successful was your smell mitigation effort? Could have done without the annoying pointless music.
were is the psi gauge , i make one of those 40 years a go but i install a gauge , this one no gauge no good,stupid thing
I'm planning to make an air tank like this, but want to coat the inside of the tank with rust paint. I've seen other videos where they do this by removing the top valve entirely, pouring in the paint, swishing it around, then dumping out the excess. I would prefer to just disassemble the valve like you did in this video. Do you think it would be possible to pour in paint through the disassembled valve? Or would the paint end up getting all over the valve's mechanisms when pouring it out, making it unusable?
Takes ages for water to get through that valve so paint no way, you will need to remove the whole valve you will need a long heavy pipe for a good lever they are in tight but easy enough if you rachet strap the bottle to something that won"t move like a tree. Good Luck
@@JollyPeanut Thanks for the information!
Hi , from where you got these parts ?
Look in this video description you will find Amazon links for all.
Thanks Jolly Peanut 👍
Not being perverted but there is a American saying about polishing your nob I'm pretty sure you can put 2 and 2 together. Love you're videos just trying to save you some un welcome imbaresment.
lol
Does the smell ever go away?
Not 100% but it is reduced a lot over time.
@@JollyPeanut Thank you. I'm about to get x2 100 lb tanks. Still worth it though.
Is it safe to convert it back to a propane tank?
I don't know why you would want to but any way i would not recommend..
@@JollyPeanut ah okay, & i no longer need extra air tank since I bought an 80 gal and would want more gas storage again for the summer time since I have a 100lb but thank you for the reply!
Did you notice any mercaptan (rotten eggs) smell while you were using the tank?
When is your next video? :D Keep it up! Would you like to be UA-cam friends? :]
80 PSI in a car tyre? Never heard of that. I use 32 PSI in mine.
I have a pannel van not a cat its a commercial vehicle desinged to carry a lot of weight thats why 80 psi,,, most cars are around 30 to 35 psi..Thanks 👍
You are going to have to remember to empty the condensation out some how. I’m not sure poring it out of the valve would be a good idea as it may cause a problem with the valve seating. Very good job anyways.👍
I just turn it upside down and open the valve once in a while that will blow any water out, there's not much moisture in the air here in Southern California so not a problem for me but you do bring up a good point, if i did get a lot of moisture in the tank i would drill a hole near the bottom and weld a tap / valve in there. Thanks buddy.
A bit more work, but take your valve off, pour some Rustoleum into the tank, swirl it around and pour the excess out. That will protect the interior from moisture. Good job!
Nooooo! These tanks are not rated for the pressure service you are subjecting them to. This is a bomb!
Rubbish do your research.
Those Propane tanks are far heavier gauge than any small compressed air tanks on the market heavier by far they are over engineered to withstand fires & not explode obviously within a tested time span . Try shooting one with a 9mm you will see how tough they are.
@@battlebright4122 you keep thinking that. When your toy explodes in your face and rips it off they can explain it to you, again...
the 20lb propane tank has a safety blow out valve which goes off at 375psi or there abouts, Normal psi for propane is between 100 & 200 psi, so for what i am doing inflating tires the propane tank is perfect that is why so many people use them. Here are some official stats for you to see for yourself, if you have official stats to back up what you say then drop a link......www.ferrellgas.com/tank-talk/blog-articles/how-much-pressure-is-in-a-propane-tank/
Well, it was a bomb when it was in service operating at significantly higher pressures and filled with a highly flammable substance, but if you watch the video you'll find he's actually planning to fill it with significantly lower pressure air :)
Why did you pick Yellow for the Tank You Should have Used BLUE, Yellow is for Flammable and Oxidizing Liquids. Just the Fireman in ME. When a fireman sees this tank he won't be a happy camper if he see's this in your garage.
I looked it up yr right i never knew..I just wanted it to be bright ..
Nice video... though extremely annoying, silly music that additionally is way too loud when you're voice is so much lower in relation. Not trying to complain but more constructive criticism if you will...
Thanks for not using the metric system!
He's in California USA, using SAE wrenches and NPT fittings on a 20 Gallon tank/bottle.
FYI, the world is metric.
@@redgum1340 Both Hitler and Stalin used this totalitarian measuring system. Churchill and Roosevelt used a system whose measurements were based on human scales. Whose side are you on?
@@thermionic1234567 I'm on the metric system which is the most logical. :) I don't consider any political leader when measuring a piece of string. LOL
Nope, not, I'd have to say I disliked this video at the completion of the paint job.
.
Why?
I expected it to be painted like a PEANUT 😂 🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜
17 minutes of arsing about and 2 minutes of showing what I wanted to see !! Yawn ! 😂😂
