things to use as air tanks

and if you make sysmetrical tanks make sure you bevel the metal edges to have better penetration

i got a Bud light keg that i was thinking about cutting it open and putting a little 5 gallon it it with the ports coming out the side of the keg and reweld the alum keg back up. It would look cool and since a real tank would be inside there it wouldnt be a problem.

that would be pretty cool if you could make the keg look untouched when you are all done. Only issue would be draining the tank if thats something you're worried about.

use a mini keg, or make a clear tank like that one truck from reso. strong plexiglass or lexan tube, two round metal end peices fitted with 2 o-rings each. four bars go lengt wise outside the tube to tighten the two metal ends together holding the tube tight and leak free. i thought that setup was very neat. if i try it and it dont work, im doing a mini keg or gonna just use my frame as a tank

pictures? this i wanna see....

here you go bud

or if a line blew and you would have to cut the keg back open to get to the tank.

the keg IS the tank, just like old school hot rods use as gas tanks, but they use the big ones. i would use the smaller ones. about 3 gallons each i believe

i dont think you can use a keg as a tank by itself? It wont hold that high of pressure will it?? 175 psi ??

I made a little guide to help some people understand what happens when you put alot of pressure in a non-round enclosure that isn't highly beefed up.

that would be dope if they made clear bags and you someone found a way to use a gas with a cool color to it. Then you could see it rolling around in the tank and shootin threw clear lines to the bags... just a thought
