make sure you filter it well
fow a storage container you need pressure
if you only let the burner do it you either
have to built a heavy burner or suffer with
low pressure.
take a small compresser with an inlet with
threads, hook it up to your burner through your
filter. a propane tank will hold 200 lbs so a small comp.
will not blow it up. PLEASE BE CAREFUL !!!!!!!

Sounds like a pretty good method using a small compressor after the filter and then into the propane tank. If understand this correctly I would connect a pipe from gasifier to the air intke side of the compressor If i have a place to thread into. The gas will then pass through the compressor and into the tank. Sounds good, even if the gas eventually contaminates the compressor I will throw it away, the small ones are real cheap. The only concern i have is heat and friction in the compressor and the possibility of ignition. I think it may be safer to let the gasifer fill a tank, 55 gal drum or some type of container with its own pressure, when the gas fills the tank, close it off. Then apply air pressure to the tank with a rubber air hose. I believe the tank should be grounded to a ground rod to help avoid a spark from any static electricity that could accumulate during the process. I think the idea with the compressor would be a lot easier if i could be sure the thing would't explode because of a spark from friction in the compressor. I think i have a long way to go before accually atempt this experiment.
