I have a load of gas bottles if anyone wants to have a go

 

[ex-member Raikey]

The first one is a refrigerant bottle! R134a if I'm not mistaken??

they are a bit thinner than a normal " gas bottle" but I'm guessing easier to work with?

looks like a nice few bits of kit mate

Thanks for the nice comments

The first one was made from a bottle that contained fire retardent and they are thinner but i liked the ready made dimple legs stamped into the bottom
I believe the disposable helium bottles that come with diy party bloon kits are the same design if anyone is searching for one

Any problems with a coating inside the cooking one? I assume anything is burned off but is there anything there in the first place?

I've got two empty helium bottles I was going to try this with. But I thought they were aluminium? I'm sure I've seen them turned into big cooking pots like those pictured though? CheersAndy

If a magnet sticks then there not alloy and your correct that any residue or coating gets burned off before a good scrubbing with a brillo pad

If you leave it outside to rust up then wire brush the corrosion of you will be left with a pitted surface to the steel that can be seasoned in the same way as cast iron cookware

Nice work and Im sure you guys know what your doing but just a word of warning, thoroughly purge the bottle before working on it.
I worked with gas cylinders for twelve years and know of two people who were killed working on "empty" gas cylinders. Even a "empty" cylinder will still contain gas and can be even more dangerous than a full one, thats why they are so hard to dispose of.
Stay Safe

I saw someone repairing a classic car petrol tank on "Wheeler Dealers" they used a steam cleaner to purge any remaining fumes.

I guess you could use something like a domestic wallpaper stripper to the same effect?

Just displace with water, its a bit easier

That's ace!!!!!!!! I want one......where can i buy one of these?

 

[Fat Rog]

Great stuff, much appreciated I really only need one, but if no one else wants the other I can still put it to good use. Send me a PM with your number and I'll call you to arrange pick up.

Once again many thanks
