Thanks guys, but the more I think about it, it's probably best that I just pick up this thread after the tank is cut. Cutting old propane tanks has a small tinge of voodoo involved, and there's really not a definitive answer. It all depends on the tank you would be cutting. I'd hate to post something that could potentially hurt somebody that read it, so...
I agree. The procedure and safety considerations for cutting vessels (even water and air tanks) can vary, depending on specific applications, condition of the vessel, position of the vessel, the tools used for cutting, how you hold your mouth while making the cut, etc.
You're aware of the dangers and you're doing the research and the critical thinking, so I'm with Pat, I think you got this.
