Anyone repurposed or upcycled a well pressure tank? We are likely to be replacing ours in the next couple of weeks. It's on the larger side for residential tanks at 82gal. Looking for ideas.

Another video, probably more closely geared to what you might do with that old tank:

I have a friend who uses one as an air tank for a compressor. His is rated for max pressure of 125PSI, yours may not be..

depending on dimensions being larger than a 55 gallon barrel (82 gal. suggests it may be)... it could be part of a rocket oven, instead of modifying a second 55 gallon barrel for the bell chamber.
