Propane tank PSI
When re-filling a propane tank...what is the PSI? Anybody know?
Forum Discussion
People do it all the time. Propane tanks have a higher psi rating than air tanks and you'd probably never be anywhere near the max rating anyway. What size of tanks and what use?
If for a compressor setup, you need to provide a means of draining water out at the low point, either with a manual valve or auto-drain valve. I have a 60 gallon upright compressor with an auto-drain and it blows a puff of air and water out every time it pumps up and shuts off. There's a crazy amount of water that comes out of the tank when it gets regular use. For a portable tank (no compressor) you'll be fine without a drain. The odor they put into propane is apparently hard to remove.
Do not weld on the tanks (if needed). They are pressure vessels and you'd need a welder certified to work on them to do that. A good place to ask this sort of question is on the garagejournal.com forum like these couple of examples here and here.
It could be that at the end of the day it'd be cheaper and easier to just by an air compressor tank. Then you could repurpose the tanks into a fire pit, artwork or BBQ.
