I see a lot of 20 Lb propane tanks in the trash

can use them for.


20 gallons is approx. 160 lbs. water displacement.

If those tanks weigh 40 lbs., that leaves 120 lbs. of net bouyancy.

If a small house weighs 12,000 lbs, then 100 of those tanks could float a
small house.

So, my suggestion: strap 100 of them under a small house, put a sail on it,
and take a trip to the South Seas.

20 lb. tanks are more like 6 of your little US gallons.
