EASY-TO-MAKE AIRSOFT MAGAZINE "GAS-UP" STATION

I recently bought a propane gas tank adapter kit.

Then I bought some small tanks of propane gas which are 4 inches in diameter. They are 2 big for me to handle easily, so I came up with the following.



The stand is an old patio umbrella stand. The pipe is a 15 inch piece of 1 1/4 inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe. It is heavy duty and can be cut with a hand saw. The pipe can be longer.

Duct tape was added to the tank to prevent slipping. And 2 four inch adjustable metal bands (screw-to-tighten) were used to hold the gas tank to the pipe.

Set on a work table or bench, it is very stable.

To add oil drops to the propane gas tank adapter valve, slip the pipe, with tank attached, out of the stand. Turn the tank upright, with pipe attached. Unscrew adapter, add oil drops.

Not shown in the pic, is an empty pill bottle that I cut down some. I then taped it to the patio stand pipe near the bottom. It holds the little bottle of oil ready for use, but out of the way.
