Discussion Portable gas tank?

[PainAndSadness]

Does anyone have any information on portable gas tank burners? If you were to turn one on like this, but not actually light the gas tank, wouldn't the air produce CO and be lethal in a small room?

To expire in this fashion one must be sure, to be able of achieving a high concentration of CO in the atmosphere. Insufficient CO or being found prematurely could result in brain damage.

Yeah, you could put a big tank in a small enclosed car sealed with tape and use a CO meter to make sure?

Nah, too much volume to fill.
It would be easier to use a Low oxygen training tent.

The car method has already been done using 5 Liquid Nitrogen tanks.

I don't like those methods tho.

Does anyone know what gas the gas bottle burner would produce when turned on with no fire? Does it produce CO or propane?

 

[GasMonkey]

It produces the gas that is inside the cylinder.

Butane, actually.

Butane, actually.

Would that ctb if you were in a small room ?

I wouldn't flood a room with flammable gas. Even if you aren't worried about other people something could happen to ignite it. It may not but still you might not want to chance getting caught in a fireball.

CO comes from the BURNING of a carbon based fuel.

I don't think so.
