Hi all - I'm new to this group, but I've spent lots of time over the years reading the very valuable information many of you have posted here. It's a great resource!

Anyway, I'm contemplating trying to build a scaled-down version of a 5G two-tank supply/vapor poofer out of two Coleman disposable tanks. After chatting with my friends at our local ACE, it seems that one can remove the valve from an empty tank, thus ulitizing it as a vapor accumulator. Has anyone tried this build? Assuming I can safely remove the valve from one tank, are there any safety reasons against using disposable tanks in a poofer build, essentially scaling down a 5G poofer setup?

I know one of the crucial aspects of the design of the 5G poofers I have built is using 3/4" steel gas pipe and an all-brass high-psi valve at the top of the poofer, so I would have to design the mini-poofer with components and materials that are adequately rated for withstanding the same vapor pressures.

I did try and search this Tribe for information that has already been posted on this topic (disposable tank poofers) , and did not find anything that specifically addressed it. I apologize if I may have not searched well enough and if such a topic exits I would appreciate it if someone sent me to it.
