Alright, so I used to have fun with a little air cannon I made using 3 inch PVC stepped down to a 3/4 inch (and then 1 inch) sprinkler solenoid, usually around 60 PSI, but I've been looking for a better solution, a bigger tank that can hold more pressure, and has more volume, and I was going to possibly get an oxygen tank from oxy acetylene welding at a scrap yard (might still if I want to do more pressure or this doesn't work out for hooking up a valve), and this popped up on kijiji for free.
A nice 33 gallon capacity tank for pressurizing well water. Now, apparently these have a bladder or something in them, I'm not sure if that will be an issue, and I'm not sure what I can get on it in terms of a release valve, idea I'd want a nice big 2 or 3 inch metal solenoid but that would be expensive and hard as hell to find, whereas a manual one will be easier to find and cheaper.
This will definitely be my project in the meantime though, I'll have to wait till I have money to buy some pipe and a non rusty valve, but the pressure gauge which is oil filled is in good shape. I'm also not sure if the small port at the bottom (surrounded by the red sticker) is where you fill it with air or not, I'll have to read some manuals, if not I have a tapping bit to put a snifter valve in.
Anyways, should be fun
