Ok new question same topic. I’m trying to figure out how much solvent I can safely fill my tank.
Tank dimensions : 10" wide × 6" diameter with a semispherical top. As can be seen from main picture.
How many cans at 300 ml will safely fill to ( my desired ??) 75% of my solvent tank.
Thank you. 
I was thinking the same thing.
10" tall, 6" diameter tank? 11 300ml cans should about get you to 75% not counting your lid.
Awesome !! Thanks. So would you safe to say I could fit a case of 12 in safely ?
I would think so given the volume of the lid.
Cylinder Volume= πr^2 h
= (3.14159)(5^2)(6)
= (3.14159)(25)(6)
= 471 Cubic Inches
…
Then max butane amount would be calculated as:
=471*.0361*.601= 100% Fill would be 10 Lbs of n-Butane
10 x .80(80% Fill)= would be 8 lbs of n-butune
Given this math…your 10x6 tank can hold 26 cans without the hemi lid which will increase the volume.
Math will save your skin if you know how to solve it
This is what I needed. Thank you a million times.
This is wrong…i dint not look at your tank. You have a 6x10 tank…which is much different than a 10x6 tank
That tank can easily hold 12 cans though…so your safe.
Ok, thanks for double-checking for me. 
So at a case of 12, how many pounds of solvent is that?
Don’t those cans say the amount of solvent they have at the bottom? Might need a 
on this one. 
Is there a way of filling a SS tank without a can tapper
Maybe a gas inlet adapter
3mm adapter to 1/4” mnpt?
I’m looking for this part now
Do the cans have the adapters on the lid?
I used to just use one of these adapters with some teflon tape on the end. Wrap enough tape so the tip fits snug in your flared end.
It’s sketchy, but it works
I need to find some adapters which should be easy
U stick that adapter directly into your liquid port?
I just turn a knob on big source tank and watch the scale climb
Its seconds instead hr to.fill
I can fill via the 1/4 inch valve=into my collection to distill and recover. canned butane has adapters to fit.
whats sketchy? thats fine and i dont use the teflon tape or have issues. its like filling a lighter or torch. At some point its paranoia. I have a yard weed torch on a propane tank, its hard to light sometimes. How is filling with a can sketch? Should I be in fear when the yard torch is making loud sounds of propane release but isnt starting via the piezo igniter?
I’ve had those little tips snap off, and it’s always wobbly. Like I said, it can be done it just feels sketchy.
And none of the ones I ever used weren’t snug in my flared fittings. Always needed a few wraps of tape to make em fit tight.
bu its the same when you fill the dab torch? so who cares if a little butane leaks
