[@Fireguy1962]

You can fill the tank through the extinguisher hose by putting a pressure line at the end and opening the valve as it is filling the tank. Once the tank is full release the handle and detach the compressor hose from the extinguisher hose.

[@VB-bk1lh]

I've got an old stainless steel extinguisher that holds a lot more air. The better choice though would be a 3,000 psi paintball tank with a regulator an hose. Years ago before NOS kits and tanks were so common, we were looking for ways to put NOS on a motorcycle. We took one of those small fire extinguishers and pressure tested it in a tank to see where it would fail. It never did completely fail but it swell up significantly after about 3,180 psi. We then filled one with air at 2,100 to see how well it held up to temp changes. We left it sit in the hot sun one July day and it was fine. The issue we has was that at those pressures the handle was nearly impossible to depress. Also, as an inflator, at those pressures, unregulated the hose would have failed instantly but we knew that and didn't even try it. We ended up machining a custom inner/and outer valve with a regulator and high pressure hose. We could charge nearly as much into a small tank as in a full size bottle at about 1,700 psi. We ran two bottle in two stages. Eventually they outlawed non-certified bottles like those but we did it for about four years back in the 80's. Track techs got a bit nervous when they saw a 1,000 psi max marking on a bottle charged to near double that on the gauge. the way we thought back then was that if it blew, the rider wouldn't feel a thing, at least not for very long anyhow.

[@matthewwoods6972]

I have something for you to try. Pipe thread tape. Wrap it around damaged or dry rotted o-rings. We did it when I used to work at a pool place. PTFE is heat and chemical resistant. The only thing is PTFE doesn't have any spring by itself but putting it over the rubber o-ring. That won't matter. It can also keep o-rings from grabbing and pinching while you are putting things together.

[@gordbaker896]

Don't forget that a pressure vessel is a Bomb. I moved my Basement Air compressor 26 years old to a isolated location where if it grenades, it does not take out plumbing and water softener. Got some oil inside of the tank as well.

On the smaller plastic FEs I fill the aluminum tank with water. approximately 3/4 full and then take your rubber tipped blow gun stick it in the nozzle. And then carefully back fill the tank by operating the tank valve and blowgun. I throttle my air pressure to 60#, which is about a good balance for the water/air displacement. you can get a blast of water to about 20' and nocks down a fire impressively.

[@dans8903]

You can put a air compressor Chuck on the end of that hose put some Teflon thread tape on it keep it from Lincoln and have a male mail fitting to plug between your air compressor and your fire extinguisher to fill it then you just take the double male fitting off after you fill The fire extinguisher then you have the female fitting on the end of the hose on your fire extinguisher to plug your tire chuck to fill your tire up I have about four of them that I have done that too then a couple of them I made as air tanks and made them into a air gun they shoot 45 caliber slugs rifle barrel that I put on the hose it works good for target shooting I have put a nuff air in it that it will go through a 1/4" seat of plywood

[@86lowrider]

Back in the sixties you could buy a small air tank as an option. Came in an emergency road side kit. When the first spare savers came out they were collapsed and came with a tank to inflate them. Got any scuba friends? Might make a good mini dive tank. 5-10 minutes.

[@thunderektumforcefield3829]

The one you have, and the others are filled with powder, 15 years ago i made one out of an h2o (water) filled stainless steel 2.5 gl model and added shut offs on the air line, it was over date and de-commisioned. It still serves me well today. But you need to consider how much air you can put in it because from one vessel to another (the tire) you can only get out whatever it takes to equalise pressure between the two. Many h2o extinguishers have a device installed that a tire inflator will fit.

[@benjaminzhou9503]

Wow, thanks for sharing the brilliant execution of your project! I have built a few refillable spray cans from empty WD-40 cans. (Cleaning out the drilling debris is a nightmare with the small hole) But dare not to fill beyond 120psi and not satisfied with the low pressure and frequent need to refill with a high pressure hand pump - my HF 1/3HP compressor only gives 100psi. Now I’ll try to look for one like yours in dumpster.

[@debraquantmeyer7483]

I am in the process of doing this. I used a schrader valve and the rubber didn't quite fit perfectly, so it's leaking air. Any suggestions? I just put E6000 glue around the spot where the rubber sits on the metal and am hoping that fixes it. Other than the tiny leak it's working and I think it will work at a prop, but I haven't tried adding any "powder" yet. Baking soda as suggested in another comment may work nicely.

[@tanksoldier9770]

Any idea on how to fill those small green oxygen tanks that are about a foot or so tall with the high pressure 1500 /2000 psi and make one for tires ? Those fire extinguishers make great squirt guns

[@sixtyfiveford]

I was going to mess around with an oxygen tank last year but it was still pressurized and the pressures are scary. An empty one though I would just buy a valve amzn.to/2yxdv1N and hook an air line to it. This is assuming yours has the cga540 valve. I would fill it with a male to male adapter. This is how I run my propane air tank.

[@205Raven]

@sixtyfiveford I am a fire extinguisher tech. I maintain fire extinguishers daily and have rebuilt and refilled thousands of them. Great video. Unfortunately the 5# buckeye is a bad pick for this. Just because the downpress lever is so poor compared to other brands. The downpress lever was modified after design to add a struck dimple on top above the pin to increase the throw length of the lever. Before this it regularly did not press the valve pin down far enough for discharge. On top of this the hinge rivet is very poor quality aluminum and will distort after 3 or 4 uses. This increases the height of the fulcrum from the load (valve pin). If a code fire extinguisher is not used it only gets discharged every 6 years for its scheduled maintenance. This allows some companies to make unreliable continuously discharged parts. Your pick, the 5# buckeye is the worst of them in this. If you look at the rivet you will see it is now bowed. You may have made a few volume mistakes. Twice the pressure does not mean twice the volume. You can get from 100 to 200 psi with half the volume. Also a 10# content fire extinguisher can not carry 3x a 5#. But great video man.

[@debraquantmeyer7483]

Robert maybe you can advise me here... I am planning on doing this, but adding powder inside so we can use it on a theater stage. Do you think it will work? Also how can I empty a new pressurized one safely? I don't want to spray all the chemicals just to empty it.

[@205Raven]

@@debraquantmeyer7483 the powder you put in it needs to be very fine and dry. Fx don't normally use compessed air. They use argon. Compressed air I am sure can work but oxygen tends ro get powders wet at high pressure. If u put a fill valve in it, just pressurize it the same day you use it. As to the safe powder recovery. We use special hoppers we discarge in. I once had a 50 # denim recovery sack I shot large fire extinguishers in. Denim seems to let the air out but catch powder good. Perhaps an old Jean pant leg with a not. Hope this helps. A disposable BC powered fx may be a better pick. The powder in a bc is just sodium bicarbonate.

How much air pressure do you put in the propane tank?

[@sixtyfiveford]

100-120psi of dry air is what I put in. Propane tanks are pressure tested to around 300psi if I recall. Propane gets to 200psi when the tank is a little over 100F and to 300psi if left in the sun and the tank reaches 140F. There is a blow off valve that will exhaust propane if it reaches these temps/pressures.

[@AndrewBrowner]

theyre rated for more than your compressor and they have a built in relief valve so fill em as much as your shop air will allow

[@Pbell]

I know this videos old, but just a heads up I learned being a landlord that the extinguisher you said was “Good” may not be. They need to be serviced every six years. If not the stuff in side clumps up and when you need it nothing happens. That’s the reason you see the extinguishers tagged every year.

[@Pbell]

The way to check is the bottom of the tank is stamped with a date, if it’s older than 6 years it can easily be serviced at a local extinguisher company, costs me about 25-30$ when I do it.

[@sixtyfiveford]

They should be serviced and I used to have to get it done all the time when I was the foreman for a commercial wood shop. It was required by local fire code. The guy would just take them out to his truck and re-certify them. I followed him out once and ask him to show me what he was doing. He didn't care and while he was showing me I asked if he had ever seen a fire extinguisher go bad that still read pressure. His answer, "nope, never in 30+ years".

[@Pbell]

I’m with you, I never even considered it before owning a multi family. Now the town has me inspect every year and service every 6 and they only allow it to be serviced so many times before it is “EOL”.

[@DAS-Videos]

I had a very old industrial one that was empty and couldn't find a place to refill it, and then one day where I was working the fire extinguisher guy was there and I asked him if he could refill mine.

Maybe use baking soda as the powder? I would like to see if would put out a fire with some baking powder.

[@sixtyfiveford]

The BC rated fire extinguishers are just baking soda. The ABC like this one is also a white powder(2 types of fertilizer) that they dye yellow so you can differentiate them.

seems like that tank schrader valve is only secure at the thickness of the tank. The tire schrader would have been safer. If what you installed flies out when your neck, eyes or face is over and it blows. That could be fatal - don't you think ?

I'm not worried. Even at 200psi tank pressure the small surface area on the valve is maybe 10-15pounds of force pushing on it. It wouldn't go far nor leave a bruise.

[@AMC-eq3jr]

Black Lightning That's a 1/8 inch NPT tank valve. I wouldn't take a chance on one of those because most are made from cheap pot metal, and the threads are not really NPT and will leak air. You will need a "R" bit and a respective tap for it on eBay - POU1/8NPTW/DRILL 1/8" Carbon Steel Pipe Tap R High Speed Drill Bit Set, Series If you go this route - better and more bullet proof is a tubeless tire schraeder valve which is much easier to install. Finally it is best to fill the tank from the hose with a fitting.
