Thread: Use for stainless steel LPG car tanks

I guess at least the bleach smell goes away (eventually)... it reminds of when the whole horse flu thing was around - I was doing a lot of field work which included moving around a lot of farms. Between each farm the protocol was to spray down the whole underside of the 4wd with bleach to stop infections. I smelt like bleach for about 2 months straight.

Lots of homebrewers boil their wort in SS pots 50l and up.

Fellas, thanks those tips - yeah definitely, eskimo - I'll get right on to it. Danninjt - I hadn't thought of a boiling type use. Maybe one half in an upright position would make a really good mud crab cooker ! I still haven't investigated whether there is a strong mercaptan smell yet and whether I'll need to replace that with a bleach smell.
Here's some photos. You can see from the date on the plate that one was tested in 1988. The other one didn't have a similar plate on the tank itself, but I did notice there were other stamped plates inside the little connector housing on top. That might have some more info, but it was a bit dark so couldn't really make it out. The volume is a bit bigger than I thought to - going by the weight of water they supposedly hold.
Cheers
