I guess scrapping doesn't always go as planned.

It looks like a nice rig .... but you have to be extra careful when working with any kind of fuel tanks. It's always that one oddball chance you didn't anticipate that makes it go BOOM !

What could possibly go wrong ?

A friend with a CNC milling machine is cutting me 50 of these sockets, when they're ready they will be $30.00 each.

It seems like a good design but i would be concerned about fuel vapors and sparks. Even a static electricity spark is hot enough to ignite the propane. Doesn't take much.

About the only workaround i can think of would be to make the socket out of some kind of metal that won't strike a spark. Something like some kind of aluminum or brass alloy ?

Similar thing with the impact gun. It would have to have an explosion proof electric motor. Maybe an air powered impact gun instead ?

Do you know any licensed propane technicians ? Maybe run it by them and see what they think ? They work with propane and propane tanks every day. They would know the hazards to avoid as well as anyone would.
