Fill it with water. I saw a guy get blown straight up and put his head impression into a 26' tall metal building's roof.

Well it might but I've got a motorcycle with JB weld on the bowl of the carb.
It was there when I bought the bike and I've had it since Christmas of 2001.

a couple pounds of dry ice in oil or water saves your argon tanks.

They sell it at my local grocery store. There is a sign on the freezer right in front of the door but for the life of me I can't remember actually seeing the price. I guess I'm not very observant of my surroundings.
So much for hookin me with an impulse buy!!

About the water, if there residual oil in the tank then where do you take 100 gallons of contaminated water?

No matter which way sounds like alot of work, risk, and chance of repeat failure due to age.

Or how about a couple nice used 55 gallon drums? Can get them for $20-30 a piece.. be alot more worry free
