I have one fire extinguisher that is discharged, and a second one that has never been discharged as far as I know, but it's showing low pressure, so it must be leaking. This is the plastic-top kind that, according to the Internet, can't be refilled. So I figure there must be some good use for them. Maybe cut the tapered part off the top and use it as... well, I don't know. But it's a good cylinder of metal. Must be useful for something.Taking suggestions now...Everlast PA160-STH... and that's about it!
Reply:These are the size that are maybe 18"-24" tall and maybe 6" in diameter. Not the tiny little one-shot cylinders that are like 4" diameter and 12" tall. Not the big ones either.Everlast PA160-STH... and that's about it!
Reply:I have used one as an aluminum fuel tank on my wife's garden tractor. The old plastic tank was leaking and needed to be replaced. I welded a plug in the discharge hole at the top, used a hole saw to cut a hole in the side and welded in a new aluminum threaded bung from Summit. Then drilled a small hole on the opposite side from the bung and welded in a small piece of aluminum tubing to attach the fuel line to. I don't have to worry about rust and evaporation anymore.Miller Syncrowave 350Millermatic 252/ 30A spoolgunMiller Bobcat 225g w/ 3545 spoolgunLincoln PowerArc4000Lincoln 175 Mig Lincoln 135 Mig Everlast 250EX TigCentury ac/dc 230 amp stickVictor O/AHypertherm 1000 plasma
Reply:A bloke over here uses the name "the rag and bone man". He uses all sorts of scrap to make lamps, chairs, desks etc. He uses old extinguishers for lamp shades and umbrella stands. Attached Images

Reply:make a little spot blasting pot - pressure over and not just gravity feed.add a side wall fitting to give a top pressure to the sand/media. This will make the bottom feed less a clean out headache with damp sand or media.below the pot, but a drain line in the bottom either welded or bulkhead compression mounted to allow sand/media out the bottom. The line to the right is incoming, the riser goes to image one, the 'sand line' is to the left.schematic concept for those who haven't blasted much.ceramic nozzles are often available at the hardware store, and you can just adapt to hose without trying to find a fitting to hold that particular diameter nozzle.All the screw top spun aluminum bottles I've mis used from fire extinquishers have been rated to at least shop air- 120--150psig.one use: Another is to use them for an 'accumulator' of solvent with a few psi (use a regulator) on top of a few gallons of solvent in the parts washer. They make a fine pressure washer with a very fine tip (MIG tips work great) to create a washer more powerful than the flow pump but not at true pressure washer pressures.Another use is to use them for spare fuel tanks on ATV's. I know a welder who took a bunch of them (industrial surplus) and TIGged fittings on the canisters and made a rack for his ATV trailer and was able to haul a 'staging' load of fuel into a remote location, where he made his base camp and used the 'fuel cash' for a week's riding there.just at thought.Cheers,Kevin Morin |
