I currently am running a 22 year Old Hardy H4. Still going well but I know it can't live forever. I have decided to build my next OWB so when the time comes that the Hardy isn't serviceable or fixable I should be good to go. My plan is to use about 40 inches of an old 500 gallon propane tank slipped inside of a 500 gallon fuel skid tank. I plan to acquire the parts as I find them for a good deal. I am picking up tomorrow a 500 gallon propane tank. I know a few people around here have used them on their builds. I have done some reading about how others have defused the tank before cutting. I was wondering about what others have done here to get it cut. My plan right now is to fill it with water and drain it, fill it with water again and drill a 3/4 hole at the top where I want to start my cut and then cut the tank with a sawzall following some sort of straight edge that I wrap around the tank. I was leaning towards this instead of using the torches because it seems like less chances for trouble. What do you guys think? Any ideas on cutting it?
