After searching for almost 6 months....in a week, I learned my neighbor was throwing out a water heater tank providing me with one, and our resident crashman provided me with a local lead that resulte ...

Ya know, one could earn a degree from the stuff discussed here. Im still trying to find a tank and you guys are hashing out the quantum physics of vac forming the Giza pyrmid.

If you can, reme ...

What kind of (yello) tank is that under the table?

That might be a lead for those of us seeking tanks.

Great photos btw.

I think I may have possibly found one or two tanks after almost 6 months of looking (insane)

....but I would like those of you who own water heater tanks for your vac tables to share some photos ...

I agree the rust issue....or better put the oxidation issue via humidity which is invariably part of many areas in the US, is a serious concern for an otherwise thinner tank.

As for the Craigstlist ...

Thanks for your answers. This is very interesting.

Now why couldnt a tank be quickly released to blow out the air, for another quick go round. Surely I would not stand behind th ...

So Im not sure where that leaves me.

What I do know is general guage strength. The propane tank I saw at lowes sounded thin when I tapped on it, so my judgement was hardly scientific but rather ba ...

After months of searching for a heater tank on freecycle, craigstlist, ebay etc, Ive all but given up. Im thinking of dropping about 100 clams on a propane tank. However the one I saw at Lowes, s ...

interesting thanks.

So why not just use a super powerful pump in the first place? And, doesnt heat of the plastic affect, to a large extent, the ease of which its pulled into detailed areas? ...

alright thanks.. I simply cannot locate a water heater anywhere in the DC area. Craigslist, Freecycle etc. bubkiss

I may just go with propane.
