What would you do if someone put oil in thier fill nipple? Since putting oil in the fill nipple would make a tank explode, what would have to be done inorder to dispose of the tank safely?

** i am just curious, i did not put oil in my fill nipple or know of anyone who has**

[Cookybiscuit]

It only explodes once filled, i.e. you could fill a tank to 4.5k, oil it, and it wouldn't explode because the valve in the fill nipple is held shut. I'm no magic airsmith guy so take it as bullshit until someone like Ray from Ninja confirms it, but if some dummy oiled a filled tank, you could probably wash it out with water and go about your business. Ray told me in the past (when I was fitting a reg) that a spec of oil doesn't equal certain death, it takes a decent amount to do it.

As long as they don't fill it:
If it's still full:
Wash out the area with soap and water. Try to get it out as much as possible (hopefully the Pressure in the tank keeps the nipple sealed)
Degass the tank via firing or ASA
Take apart fill nipple and inspect area. Look for any clues of oil and such.
Probably take the tank to Hydro if I suspect that any oil actually made it into the tank.

If it's empty:
Higher chance oil is actually in the tank. I'd just take it to a hydro place and explain the predicament. They can remove the reg and see for sure if there is oil in the tank or not.

And yes, it's not like one drop and you get a bundle of TNT. It takes a decent amount. However, care should always be taken.

I'd remove the air from the tank, remove the fill nipple, clean it up, and reinstall. Crisis averted.

Personally I would empty the tank, remove the nipple, and reinstall a new one.

1. Kill the idiot who put oil in your fill nipple.
2. Clean the fill nipple thoroughly with soap and water.
3. When the tank is empty, take apart the fill nipple and clean it again.
4. Don't let any idiots with oil come near your nipples again.

[stewie1897]

Vent section's solution: Shit in it

But what you should do is just empty the tank (You can still use it but don't refill it) and remove the fill nipple and buy another.

4. then just take it because hey, it's a free tank. and with the owner being dead it's not like he's going to stop you...

I would yell "HIT THE DECK!' tackle the guy with the tank and throw it as far as i can. Then i would say " you'll thank me later" and walk off like a boss

the best thing to do, is to send the tank to the manufacturer to have it cleaned and inspected

This isn't "rocket surgery" fellas, think of your car tires. If I filled your car tires with a mixture of fuel oil, kerosene and hydrogen... what would you do? Fix it in your garage? No, you're bring it to a tire store, and have them clean and inspect it

It goes back to the same saying- Problem solvers, or problem finders

A problem finder would try to fix it themselves, or come up with some other stupid way of accomplishing nothing, like leaving it aired up in their closet while they ask for help on the "interwebz"

A problem solver would drain the tank, look at the label, see who the manufacturer is, and call them to get an RMA number... and ship it in
