Steve I wasn't ragging on you. Since the tank didn't explode when you welded on it I knew it had either been long dead open to the atmosphere or you had filled it with an inert substance. I have done a lot of LP tanks as well as gasoline tanks over the years even purposely exploded them doing safety demonstrations to show how violently dangerous they can be.
We have 1000's of viewers here who may see these posts who also do not have experience in working with potentially dangerous materials. I am not a safety police by any stretch of the imagination. But I do often try to stress a few of the more potentially dangerous aspects of mine and others builds from time to time. There are already far too many tide poders and condom snorters in this world.
Another point about having the ability to drain the tank lighten it when needed would have been to thread a pipe nipple in the center hole which could have been used as 1 of the axles as well as be capped that way filling or emptying cold have been done through that.
