Ok so I came across a water tank that I hope will work for my Super Sucker setup. It is the bladder type though so I am not sure it will work? It has a valve stem at the top of the tank (the type you would find on a tire) and a 1" or maybe 3/4" pipe fitting coming out of the bottom. My question is do I need to remove the bladder and if so how? Also not sure how to go about connecting my vacuum pump....Do I try the area where the valve stem is or should I leave that alone? Seems like that would be a spot to add pressure to empty the tank out. I have a much larger propane tank I would like to set up eventually but I will need a trailer to haul it around. This tank looks to be about 80 gallons or so, so if it will work it will get me started.

Do you know if the bladder is good? If not remove it if you can. If your tank can hold a vacuum -bladder in or out then its a moot point from where i stand. Im getting ready to use teh same kind of tank but mine is 200+ gallons. the schrader valve will come in handy. As long as you can hold a vacuum and then figure out your oil in/ oil out scenario you should be ok.

Im building one out of an old 60 gallon air compressor tank my buddy had lying around his shop, but I have done research on using the well tanks.
I believe after reading a bit and doing some searching, the way you convert the tank is to puncture it by inserting a sharp object inside the bottom fitting, so the bag deflates and you have more tank space. Theres so much info out there its retarded. Im sure you can find the same article with some searching. Good luck buddy!!
