Several of us have CO2 tanks we use for compressed air. CO2 fire extinguishers are fairly common, but expensive. Assuming you could rig up a hose and a nozzle/horn, could the Power Tank be used as a fire extinguisher?
What I am envisioning is:
Fire extinguisher hose & nozzle/horn attached directly to the tank valve (no regulator.) Tank would be held upside down and tank valve opened to spray liquid CO2 on the fire.
To use as an air tank, just remove the fire extinguisher hose and attach the regulator. It would normally be stored in the fire extinguisher setup for quick emergency access.
Anyone out there that knows CO2 fire extinguishers?
Has anyone done this or decided it can't be done?
