I think you could do this yourself and probably save some money. I just installed a HTT on my NH Boomer 45 and I think the entire job took 15 minutes. I made a brief video showing it and where I got it. GL !

Appreciate the input. After the 1st several replies it became VERY clear that a bottle of pressurized air was not what I needed. What I wanted was to be able to refill a 1-pound (empty) propane tank with air and be able to get as much gas vapor out of it as an original cylinder. The key is that...

So here is an update......the Scotts, 3-gallon battery powered sprayer with it's own little dolly is garbage and is being returned. The small pump operates off of a small integrated internal 9 V battery. When I filled the tank with water to try it out the pressure was piss-poor and barely shot...

You got me there. Been there a few times but never about that so I would not know. Can be hard to get a hold of and meet up at times from what I rem.

Neat. Reminds me of a system I made up about 20 years ago when I had a traditional garden tractor with steering wheel. I pulled a small garden utility trailer behind it and put a 55-gallon drum inside it up towards the front to keep the weight forward. I then dropped a garden hose down the drum...

This looks awesome........excellent idea. Even though I have a Scotts unit on the way I am going to get this just to play with (rem I like to experiment) I just need a regulator so it can stay on and not over charge the 2-3 gallon container to more than about 15 PSI. Thanks !

It was a thought experiment. I like tinkering and DIY & repurposing things that's all. I was just on a fact finding mission wanting to get opinions, facts, and even learn something along the way. I'm smart enough to know I am ignorant in many areas which was the reason for my post. Thanks !

The answer to your question is because my property is a little over 1200' long and hundreds wide.....if I only filled it with one gallon (which I have tried) I would be spending tons of time walking back and forth to refill it. With my back issues I am not able to make the many required trips...

At this point it does not matter as I have ordered a dolly type battery powered unit......but, the original idea was to use a pressurized air cylinder with valve and regulator, attach a hose to it, run the hose into the top of a plastic sprayer container (well above the liquid level) and have a...

As I read all these new posts I have not yet seen (for some reason I stopped getting notifications & I thought the thread had died) lots of thoughtful & helpful suggestions etc. I know it is easy to miss one or two when many posts are made. I cannot use my tractor or even Z-turn to hold a...

I need to sincerely apologize....for some reason I stopped getting notifications when new posts were made by folks. Not mean't intentionally guys. So I think many of you are spot on.....I think if I were to fill it with just air, even compressed, it would not equate to too much volume and not...

Roger that ! I have filled several 1-pound tanks using a 20# tank several times......exactly as you say, just make sure it is inverted so you fill it with liquid. Never had any problems but since I do not have any gauges on the setup I was at a loss at what the internal PSI was. TU agn.

Appreciate that guidance. But I think we are talking about two different propane tanks. I am wanting to learn more about the small 1-pound propane torch tanks. Also, the 10-15 PSI is the intended pressure inside my sprayer bottle. I would imagine the air-filled propane tank would be filled to...

Awesome that you referenced a standard. Thank you. Do you by chance know the PSI for a standard 1-pound tank?

Can you reference a couple of them where the person actually knew what they were doing and knew the safety limits of the tank etc? I do not mean for that to come out wrong or disrespectful because I appreciate your input but just because I see someone doing something on YT does not automatically...
