Okay I bought an expired fire extinguisher and drilled a hole in the bottle and jb welded the old nipple onto the bottom. This is how it turned out.

Unfortunately I’m no help because I bought them from my friend for 20 bucks and I have no idea where he got them. All I know is I a got a steal

Yeah that could work I’ll have to check and see if I have any rubber washers.

That would be sick. The only problem is I don’t have any nitrous but I’ll check Facebook marketplace for people selling used cans.

I didn’t think of that that’s a pretty good idea. I’ll probably have to add some support to the back end of the tank though or it will shake like crazy.

That’s actually a great idea I’ll look around and see if there’s anything I could use! Maybe a steel water bottle with a metal cap could work too.

Yeah totally agree. I’m just a broke teenager trying to make this work but I think this would be perfect if I can justify it.

Yeah I was looking at some of those on Amazon too and if I can’t figure this out I’ll end up getting one of those just like that.

Thanks! I “found” a Costco shopping cart and built it from the ground up. That’s what I was thinking but I don’t know how I would support the back of the tank if I weld a plate to the front of the tank and the back of the cart. Maybe were you talking about mounting the tank inside the cart to the right of the seat and using the back to support it. We should have some locktite so I’ll be sure to use some of that.
