Depends how he obtained the cylinder. I wanted one for a similar purpose, and my local scrap merchant told me he had dozens I could have for nothing.

This seems a bit irrelevant to me as the company won't show up to pick up fewer than three redundant cylinders. They obviously don't care about the odd one here and there.

I was a bit annoyed that I had to pay the deposit on a cylinder recently. I've seen them abandoned in the past. If I'd known what size I needed in advance, I could have had one for nothing.

Why don't you use your real name if you're proud of your ethics, then? :-)

I never figured out why Grant didn't fill them with water, though.

True.. Same around here, and the local council run tip has 100's of the things too. The latter are a bunch of Nazi's though, claim to be into recycling and yet NOTHING can leave the tip via the public! Used to be different when privately managed.

But yes as others have stated here the thread is RH and tapered, and 'Kin tight!

I recently had to remove one myself to "recycle" the cylinder and convert into a vacuum tank for my vac former.

Me neither - filling them with compressed air at 100 psi sounds like a good way to make a bomb to me.

But you are ashamed to show your name in public. Got something in your past that we should know about?

Just your bicycle tires!

Really! :-)

Unfortunately, they only seem to have the big cylinders. When I've needed the cylinders for their intended purpose, I've need the pumpkin-sized ones, and have unfortunately had to pay the deposit for them.
