" people don't know why you added water to tank" That's just one isolated factoid.

Look up the "Dunning Kruger Effect" and read about why that is the case, it very interesting. The lack of basic overall knowledge for a high percentage of people is epidemic today, imo. I'm 69 and it never stops coming up, the lack of real in depth understanding content providers show when making a how to video which they feel adequate in. The hardest part is being effectively diplomatic enough to not be painted as a hater and troll when pointing out short comings in a video or presenter's methods/Knowledge. Ignoring it and not commenting is the safest. Cheers.

[@jtoombs56]

Lots of comments here about why add water but know one has provided an answer. Also, my feet hurt every other day or so and someone else said it would be helpful to mark the shoes L and R but how am I supposed to know which letter goes on which one and how would that help anyway? I painted a floor the other day but left tracks on it when I was finished and my wife laughed at me. I still don’t think it was funny, I had to get out somehow.

[@foxwood67]

Don't know if some of these comments or a joke or not the reason why you would add water to any vessel before cutting or welding is to purge any residual vapors or even liquids from the interior many people have been seriously injured or killed for failing to do a simple step. People assume that because the vessel is empty that the danger is gone but in fact they are still very dangerous.I fill vessels until they are overflowing and l continue to overflow for several seconds just to make sure no Boom

Just got an old tank to use for a project but it still has some gas in it. There is no valve, just duct tape over the hole. Can I still use a hose to fill it with water? I read that the gas will sink into low spots and remain flammable.

[@HNXMedia]

If there is just duct tape over the valve, then any gas in that tank will be minimal. Yes, just fill it with water (overflowing) and let it sit outside for a day. It will stink something fierce, but will be fine to work with after that. The odor will eventually go away, but it can be rough when you first start working with the tank. Be safe.

@@bigemugamer Never thought of that. That would be much easier. It seems like you could certainly control the flow better. I am not an expert on the pressure ratings though and I wonder if any shop would refill the tank once that valve is installed (at least in the over-regulated US). Very interesting idea.

@@HNXMedia Thank you muchly... I'll choose to trust your judgement. Fare well friend... Safety First P.S. I just realized that I may not have been clear as to the issue I'm seeing with the valve leak ... The leak is not where the valve threads into the tank but is at the point where the valve stem passes thru the brass but (the one with reverse thread indications notched into it). I do recall being at a North Idaho Propane and saw the sales clerk offer certain "O-rings" to a customer for the valves though I believe they were small ones that seal the bleeder screw and so do assume that some repairs are/were considered OK to do... This was, however about 10 years ago.

I've done this hundreds of times, 8 times just in the past week. I have a better method 😊 btw, purging with water is not fool proof, vapour can still remain, I have a scar to prove it. If purging with water, leave it for a day or so to air out, don't cut straight away.

[@robertboyd3863]

If you want to cut it, simply run car exhaust into it while cutting

[@capnlatenight5356]

Have you ever worked with a tank that's rusted closed? I searched youtube and found this video. The triangle-shaped handle won't move either direction. I cannot tell if it is currently opened or closed. Using a pin I purged the gas I could out of it, but I'm sure there's still vapor. This makes me uneasy about opening it up. Is it safe to drill into it underwater, would that prevent explosions? I was also thinking a file and some lube, nobody has ever made a spark using a file.

[@cocospops9351]

@@capnlatenight5356 You can just drill into it normally, if there is no pressure inside of it. Nothing will happen. 1: Drilling doesn't produce sparks, if it does you'll destroy your bit before making it through the tank 😉 2: even if it did spark, it won't explode because there is no air in the tank, it would simply produce a small flame where the hole is. I cut these all the time as I make wood stoves from them. Heres my method, drill 6 or 8 mm hole in depressurised tank, put tank in a fire (I use a steel oil barrel, wood and a powerful blower from a bouncy castle) this burns off the paint and frees up the valve. After heat treating the valve comes out easily, usually just twist out by hand. At this point it is dangerous because there'll likely still be vapour inside (which still surprises me as the tank would be glowing red during heat treat) and taking the valve out will introduce air. You can leave it to air out for a day or so and it'll be good to go. I actually do a "controlled explosion" by firing my plasma cutter into the hole I drilled and the vapour ignites and shoots out the valve hole with big whooosh, sometimes still gives me a fright even though I've done it hundreds of times 😂😂 But you can skip that last step if you're not feeling brave/don't have a plasma. 👍 Let me know if I can help any more, don't want to see you getting hurt.

[@cocospops9351]

@@capnlatenight5356It's important to make sure there's no pressure inside it before drilling. If there is, it's possible that gas will spray out and ignite from the brushes in your drill motor, flame throwering you in the face (this has never happened me but I'm conscious that it could) As you say though, jam something into the valve pin and release any pressure first.

Di you ever make the grill out of the propane tank? I couldn’t find a video.

[@HNXMedia]

It is actually about halfway done. My welder died on me and I do not use a welder enough to justify buying a new one. The "partially built" wood stove is sitting in my garage. As soon as I can figure out how to finish it without welding, I will post the video. I did a lot of filming before the welder died, so I have the original footage to complete the vid.

Happy to help.

Well I suppose your Idea was alright using a two Straps: But My Method is to take a Crowbar or a solid Piece of Bar : Place the Bar into a Vice {side on} Take hold of the Empty Gas Bottle and slide the Crowbar through the two Holes; and then with a 22mm Open end spanner or an adjustable Spanner or pipe wrench. If You Find it hard o Unscrew Place a Pipe within the Pipe wrench for extra Pull

[@HNXMedia]

Nice! I might just give that a try next time. Solid idea!

I feel that the intelligence of my subscribers is far and above all others.

Just get yourself one of these here......its called A PIPE! LMAO- THANKS a ton for letting me know I wasn't on the wrong path

[@HNXMedia]

I'm here to keep you on that straight and narrow path...mostly.

[@vidiotsyndrome]

@@HNXMedia it's one of those things where...; Like, im in a Facebook group for a specific topic. You ask a question- and everyone says "Google it"... wouldn't most people avoid asking public questions if the answers were easily decided by Google? And what with gas fittings being weird from other nuts & bolts.....[lots of "lefties thread"]... I wasn't sure if I was turning the right way.

[@HNXMedia]

LOL! Exactly! Too right! Yep, lots of pipe fittings are left-threaded and such. Just glad I could help out. Stay well and stay safe.

[@killerkane1957]

That is how the Egyptians would have done it. Well done.

"I believe they call this a 'Pipe'" Yes, "Pipe" is the technical name for it. :)

[@HNXMedia]

I am glad my weak attempt at humor was not completely lost. Stay well. Peace.

[@ChrisShenar]

@@HNXMedia I thought it was funny. Stay well as well.

@@HNXMedia yes although I didnt do all these steps. I just opened the valve on one today filled it with water then cut the top off. I could see that purgeing with water was important though, or rather I could smell it
