Ryan,
Can I have your Ferret? 'Cause if you try that too many times on an old
propane tank, you're not gonna be needing it anymore where you'll be
going!!! :)
Seriously, though, I wouldn't use an old propane tank if I were you.
Honestly, I wouldn't do it at all, but if you HAVE to, at least buy a
REAL portable air tank and use it. Those are rated to be filled and
refilled multiple times, whereas the disposable propane tank is just
asking for a way to make the 6 'o clock news- or worse yet, the Darwin
Awards! Be careful.
