Uses's for pressure tank?

[72Wagon]

Had to replace my well pressure / accumulator tank (internal bladder bad), its about 15 x 36, anyone ever come up with a alternative use for these old tanks.
I would not use it for compressor tank, it is not rated for high pressure.

Add some wheels to it. Attach a long tube and a funnel and use it catch oil when you have the car up on the lift.

Split it down the middle(lengthwise) weld on some legs, hinge both halves together, add a handle, some grills, punch a couple holes for venting. And you got yourself a nice shop bbq! That's what we did using a dented fuel tank off a Mack truck.

Cut it into fourths, and use one of those fourths on the wall behind your bench grinder to keep the sparks away from the wall and baseboards.

FIL used the last one as a rainwater collection tank with piping to irrigate his pumpkins.

Slice the bottom off, weld a ring to the top and you've got a japanese gong. Paint it up, mount it on a tripod and sell it. There's a guy one Weldtalk (or summat like that, the hobart site) that does them with old O2 tanks and makes good money from them.

I turned my old 12 gallon air tank into a rolling anvil stand. And yea I know it should be on grandma's old cherry tree stump but I still like the cherries.
