propane in a CO2 tank

[dave92tsi]

question does anyone forsee any problems with using an 5lbs Aluminum CO2 tank for propane injection. Only proplem i can think of is trying to get it filled i was thinking of filling them off of a standard 20lb propane tank by making an adapter to the 2 tanks. Any idea's?

when propane gets too hot, it expands and the propane tank has a specific psi blowoff on it, if you dont have that blowoff, consider that tank firing 300ft in the air.

CO2 also expands when it warms. The containers have pretty much the same specs they have to be certified at 3000psi to see if they hold on both containers. 5lbs of propane is aprox 1600psi witch is also the same amount of pressure with 5lb of co2.

Don't do it. Use ONLY a DOT Aproved Propane tank
