[TheForge] old propane tanks

[Ron Childers]

I'm scared of things that can potentially go "BOOM" so I wouldn't trust
just washing it out with water. A friend of mine set an old acetylene
tank in his band saw, turned it on and left the shop. Nothing exploded
so we don't know if this was a safe procedure or luck...

Remove the valve then you can fill with water to remove propane and any
oil 
residue.   Then you can do with them as you wish.
