new use for your propane tanks

[belfert]

Who hit that bus with the ugly stick?  Yikes.

I can't tell, did someone really cut up propane tanks?  I couldn't imagine cutting a propane tank unless I spent a lot time purging it with with an inert gas first.

Boy am I lucky!  I fill with water dump then cut, or weld.  Hmm, God protects Children and Fools, guess I'm in the second class.  LoL

Water works too.  The point is you have to sure there is no way there could be any propane in the tanks before cutting them up.

I can't believe this guy would have loaded propane tanks where they could easily be damaged.  One of my friends who is a pretty smart mechanic recommended we mount propane tanks on the back bumper of my bus.  I told him no in no uncertain terms.

Somehow, I seem to recall reading somewhere that portable propane tanks are supposed to be installed between the axles for better protection in case on an accident. Don't remember where I read that.  Jack

The real question has yet to be asked....... What is it?.

It's a '41 Hound! (see the destination sign in the front!) My first guess would have been a GM but I think maybe a Flex or something from the looks of it.

Here is more info on the bus. I found it doing a random google search. With a few more pictures.

Found it here: http://www.classicbusdepot.com/bus-photos/93_0_1_0_C/

1941 ex-Greyhound bus made by General Motors (GM) Yellow Coach division type PG2505.

Ran in service San Francisco, California 1941-1958. This PG-2505 was converted in 1962 in Mesa, Arizona and was used on the Alaska Pipeline by its fabricator.

This bus drives very well as long as your not in a hurry to get any where top speed about 60 m.p.h. Thats fast enough in somthing this old. The PG-2505 is powered by a 471 Detroit Diesel and has a four speed transmission with a two speed rear end. I found the bus for sale along side the road and I had to have it. I have had the bus about 5 years

I suppose the phrase 'there is a lid for every pot' is supported by this conversion.
