Dead CF tank

[djeclypse]

My favorite CF tank is dying next year. I have 2 ideas what to do with it. I've heard of people turning them into mugs, which is one idea. I'm also thinking of using it as a Freak insert carrier. Thoughts?

I would also like to hear about this, I have a bunch of dead tanks that are just collecting dust.

aluminum tanks should be fine, but have expose CF edges would concern me for food consumption ...
Just something to think about.

Could always seal edges under an epoxy rim

I was staring at my pile of dead old tanks the other day and debating about how to turn them into gun stands/ wall hangers....

I've got a 68/3000 I plan on turning into a lamp at some point.

And here it is.

Jordan that is absolutely awesome. Such a waste of a PMI Reactor though lol.

At least it's getting used now. 🙂

The internals were goo and I couldn't find a rebuild kit anywhere, plus I already have three 4.5k tanks with good regs... I like the short Ninja regs on my 68cu tanks, it keeps them juuust the right length on my stuff that needs the larger tanks, so I was never going to bother rebuilding and converting to 4.5k.

Jordan I think I found what I'm going to do with my WGP that dies in July. May just do it now as the Bonnet now has a dent in it and eats orings. What did you do to the tank to feed the wiring? It would be interesting to put a 3 way switch on it, cut some "windows" in the tank and have a neat little night light or lamp lol.

I drilled a hole in the bottom and threaded for 1/8"-27 npt - turns out that most if not all lamps use a hollow threaded rod that is essentially 1/8"-27 straight thread, so a pipe tap and drill work great.

Drilled the tank, gutted and drilled out/tapped the reg.

Really, you can do whatever your imagination can come up with. I've seen Shocker Sports made into lamps.
