Propane fumes?

@@304justaking Do you not understand what propane fumes are?

@@jeffhayes2288 Yes it will. Just to be sure leave it upside down in cooler weather because the gas is heavier than air. That is not saying that the garbage man will take it. But if you are cutting it for any reason it is still better to fill it with water just in case. If you are making a portable air tank then go to it.

I've taken a look at some better methods and yes, remove the metal carrying handles with an angle grinder (after emptying the can). Then strap it down and actually a plumber's 2 inch wrench has worked better in my recent openings.

Yea you can leave it filled with water while cutting too.

Now, lemme tell ya what...

I don't like lighting things on fire hehe. Filled it with water and dumped it out. Got anything that might have been caught out.

Same

@@IcecyOutdoors Hey, Jesus wore sandals and did some crazy dangerous shit.

I never take advice from someone with that shiny of a wrench

Evidently you aren't a follower of the smartest and most powerful man that walked this planet. The counsel doesn't come from a pair of sandals. The sandals are a pair of shoes that had protected millions of feet, having by itself better reputation than some men.

@@MaximumIndustries yeah you’re right but then again he’s Jesus he is god sooooo

@@balls1441 I'm still alive :D

Nope, just fill with water till is runs over, let sit for a little and pour out that will make sure any pockets are evacuated.

Failing this, get a pipe wrench. I got a 2 inch which makes this way easier. Also, cut off the carry handles either with a hacksaw or angle grinder.

Good point. No harm in doing so. If you are ever nervous about doing anything like this, have a professional or someone you don't care about do it.

My buddy was welding on a fuel tank of a MIG-17 ...he filled it full of water! Somehow the darn thing still had vapors in it! It blew up! He wasn't hurt, but did need a change of underwear... The tank was toast!! It wasn't his first one either that he worked on. It was the only one that blew up!

You can cut the top cage off with a saw or grinder and remove the valve with a pipe wrench. Knowing what I know now, that is how I would have done it.

I took a 6" by 2.5" ID pipe and cut rectangles out of the edges to fit snuggly and now I can use pipe wrench on that. I can do about 6 to 10 tanks under a minute.

Not that I know of

Just open it all the way and flush it out really good with water so there is no lingering gas. You can leave the tank filled with water when you cut it if you want for extra precaution. Up to you, if you aren't sure about something, don't do it until you go read or ask someone.

When they are recycled the recycling place will vent them slowly until empty. Of course this happens in the middle of nowhere and no smoking or sparks can be anywhere near. I did one and would vent for an hour then stop and when it was windy, then turn upside down because L.P. is heavier than air. Just be careful!

People watch others make videos and comment. And people who make cool stuff and video it for the people who watch. You are?

Yes just take out the valve and leave it flooded with water for a bit, dump it out and happy cutting.

Jayden Davis is obviously no longer with us... (Moment of silence)

You still alive bro? Lmao

Ah! Nice to know!

No need for water.

No.

Left hand thread on the hose coming out of the valve. Right hand thread on the valve coming out of the tank.

Yea, I just did two tanks and I just make a good habit of filling them with water before doing any cutting.

As long as theyre empty theres not enough pressure to blow up.I've had a little flame shoot out of the cut I was making with a cut off wheel,but all it did was make a noise.

May I ask if you're missing any eyebrows or had an horrible accidental cauterizing of your anatomy?

Awesome! Thanks for sharing 15 years of experience with us, very enlightening.

how would you take it off?

I'd rather not risk a spark ignition like that lol

They will be happy to keep the brass valves as well. They return them for scrap prices.

How do you figure?

Maybe he just doesn't want to talk..?

got to say i do agree about the keeping quiet, you at least need some subtitles especially when your doing something as potentially danagerous as this

doesn't need one. the video explains it all.

the video has nothing on the risk of freeze burns to start with....

I am not sure why you ask if he has a voice. Video shows everything that is needed to get the idea, besides if he were talking you might have been tempted to say he talks to much, the video isn’t on the ability to talk or not talk.

Always be careful when working with anything with gas. If you're not comfortable working with it, you shouldn't attempt this procedure. For this tank, I left the tank open for more than a week out in the woods away from everything, and then filled it with water through the valve. I didn't show this process, but there are plenty of ways to perform this safely. I wanted to show that anyone can do this with little to no tools. Everything I used could be found or bought at a dollar store or for less than $10 at a flee market. I'd recommend getting a belt clamp and pipe wrench and gas sniffer if you're going to do large quantities of gas tanks.

Also if your shining your propane tank. remember this. Head to feet you will not cause a leak. Feet to head everyone dead.

@@kodyrainwater can you explain this further?

Actually that's brilliant to not say a word. Now no dumb ass can say well such and such told me how to do it and thats how I blew my eyeball out of my head and cauterize my eye socket with that there gosh darn tank.

Watch primitive technology and see

He cldnt talk with all the grunting he was doing! 🤣
