[Shop-talk] Portable air tanks?

[shochschild at att.net]

I would like to piggyback on this and ask if any of us have added the 
hardware to an outdated propane tank to make an air pig out of it??

I remember seeing this discussed, and I seem to recall that unscrewing 
the original valve is a challenge -- any actual experience?

To respond to the original post,  I have used my Harbor Freight tank for 
nearly 20 years, and it is fine, but it rolls around in my trailer, and 
I have a propane tank fitting already mounted that would hold it perfectly.

Thanx as always
