I see your point on the fabbed up tanks but I'd also not wish to cut into an lp tank for any reason. THere was a member that suggested overlapping the pieces and welding the inside corner instead of welding on the outside of a corner. Don't know if that made any sense how I explained it or not.
cant say as l blame you for not wanting to cut into an lpg tank, dosent sound safe practice dose it, although a lot of folk over here cut a 12 " sqaure out of the side and use them as workshop stoves/heaters,l think the standard practice is to undo the valve, put a hose pipe in and fill them with water and then cut into it, on the assumption that if its full of water then there cant be any gas left in it
Not good - if you are going to cut into one - place dry ice chunks into it - the ice will melt leaving CO2 that will not ignite. Water will turn to steam, and that shit burns.
l was thinking of cutting in to the tank with a 2" holesaw in a battery drill rather than something hot like a torch or plasma, or as you you say would be pretty steamy
