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.
