they in no way sponsored this video but it was their idea and made this video
it was their idea and made this video
it was their idea and made this video possible today so our flamethrower is
possible today so our flamethrower is
possible today so our flamethrower is pretty much assemble there’s really only
pretty much assemble there’s really only
pretty much assemble there’s really only two things that we need to do left at
two things that we need to do left at
two things that we need to do left at this point and that is to take the hose
this point and that is to take the hose
this point and that is to take the hose from our pressure washer and connect it
from our pressure washer and connect it
from our pressure washer and connect it to the co2 tank then take a propane
to the co2 tank then take a propane
to the co2 tank then take a propane torch and mount it underneath the
torch and mount it underneath the
torch and mount it underneath the pressure washer but it’s not nearly as
pressure washer but it’s not nearly as
pressure washer but it’s not nearly as easy as it sounds because we’re actually
easy as it sounds because we’re actually
easy as it sounds because we’re actually gonna have to do a lot of modifications
gonna have to do a lot of modifications
gonna have to do a lot of modifications to the nozzle itself alright so first
to the nozzle itself alright so first
to the nozzle itself alright so first things first let’s jump over to our tank
things first let’s jump over to our tank
things first let’s jump over to our tank and drill some holes now I’m gonna be
and drill some holes now I’m gonna be
and drill some holes now I’m gonna be shooting this thing right handed when
shooting this thing right handed when
shooting this thing right handed when the sticks on my back I want the hose to
the sticks on my back I want the hose to
the sticks on my back I want the hose to connect to the right side right down
connect to the right side right down
connect to the right side right down here so the first thing I’m going to do
here so the first thing I’m going to do
here so the first thing I’m going to do is put the paintball tank across from me
is put the paintball tank across from me
is put the paintball tank across from me on the opposite side I’m going to take
on the opposite side I’m going to take
on the opposite side I’m going to take my left hand go all the way to the
my left hand go all the way to the
my left hand go all the way to the bottom and measure up from the bottom
bottom and measure up from the bottom
bottom and measure up from the bottom one inch now that we got our position
one inch now that we got our position
one inch now that we got our position mark I’m going to be using a thirty

yay success that took far longer than I was expecting you know it’s really weird
was expecting you know it’s really weird
was expecting you know it’s really weird about that is I think we caught it on
about that is I think we caught it on
about that is I think we caught it on the curve there’s like half an inch here
the curve there’s like half an inch here
the curve there’s like half an inch here but then it curves in obviously the
but then it curves in obviously the
but then it curves in obviously the bottom is thicker and then the walls are
bottom is thicker and then the walls are
bottom is thicker and then the walls are cuz the top part of the wall here is
cuz the top part of the wall here is
cuz the top part of the wall here is only about half an inch thick but then
only about half an inch thick but then
only about half an inch thick but then that back end is like an inch and a half

[Applause] so quick update guys I finally got
so quick update guys I finally got
so quick update guys I finally got through this tank here was a lot more
through this tank here was a lot more
through this tank here was a lot more difficult than I was expecting here’s
difficult than I was expecting here’s
difficult than I was expecting here’s why when I drill down into the saloon I
why when I drill down into the saloon I
why when I drill down into the saloon I was expecting it to maybe be half an
was expecting it to maybe be half an
was expecting it to maybe be half an inch thick but it just kept going and
inch thick but it just kept going and
inch thick but it just kept going and going and I think the reason is because
going and I think the reason is because
going and I think the reason is because the bottom of this tank is actually
the bottom of this tank is actually
the bottom of this tank is actually sloped on the inside so there’s much
sloped on the inside so there’s much
sloped on the inside so there’s much more metal near the bottom and even
more metal near the bottom and even
more metal near the bottom and even though the instructions safe to drill at
though the instructions safe to drill at
though the instructions safe to drill at the one-inch point just be prepared that
the one-inch point just be prepared that
the one-inch point just be prepared that it’s gonna be a lot more work than you
it’s gonna be a lot more work than you
it’s gonna be a lot more work than you think
think
think we used our thirty seven sixty four-bit
we used our thirty seven sixty four-bit
we used our thirty seven sixty four-bit to go in and then I use this 3/8 inch 18
to go in and then I use this 3/8 inch 18
to go in and then I use this 3/8 inch 18 NPT to actually cut some threads so
NPT to actually cut some threads so
NPT to actually cut some threads so theoretically the end of our pressure
theoretically the end of our pressure
theoretically the end of our pressure washer hood should now screw in
washer hood should now screw in
washer hood should now screw in perfectly but the problem with drilling
perfectly but the problem with drilling
perfectly but the problem with drilling and tapping our own hole is it’s put a
and tapping our own hole is it’s put a
and tapping our own hole is it’s put a lot of aluminum shavings inside the tank
lot of aluminum shavings inside the tank
lot of aluminum shavings inside the tank so actually had to take a pair of
so actually had to take a pair of
so actually had to take a pair of channellocks and a rubber mallet and
channellocks and a rubber mallet and
channellocks and a rubber mallet and knock the top valve loose to open a hole
knock the top valve loose to open a hole
knock the top valve loose to open a hole big enough we could turn the tank upside
big enough we could turn the tank upside
big enough we could turn the tank upside down and shake all those shavings out
down and shake all those shavings out
down and shake all those shavings out [Music]
[Music]
[Music] [Applause]
so here we are guys it took quite a bit
so here we are guys it took quite a bit of work but we now have the hose
of work but we now have the hose
of work but we now have the hose attached to the tank few surprises along
attached to the tank few surprises along
attached to the tank few surprises along the way the tank is very very thick it’s
the way the tank is very very thick it’s
the way the tank is very very thick it’s very difficult to tap this thing and
very difficult to tap this thing and
very difficult to tap this thing and screwing the hose on only got within
screwing the hose on only got within
screwing the hose on only got within about a quarter of an inch of the tank
about a quarter of an inch of the tank
about a quarter of an inch of the tank itself but there’s quite a bit of pipe
itself but there’s quite a bit of pipe
itself but there’s quite a bit of pipe thread tape on there and it’s sealed up
thread tape on there and it’s sealed up
thread tape on there and it’s sealed up pretty nice and tight so I think it’s
pretty nice and tight so I think it’s
pretty nice and tight so I think it’s gonna do the job and now we can move on
gonna do the job and now we can move on
gonna do the job and now we can move on to adding the propane torch to the
to adding the propane torch to the
to adding the propane torch to the actual flamethrower nozzle itself now
actual flamethrower nozzle itself now
actual flamethrower nozzle itself now looking at the plans I think this might
looking at the plans I think this might
looking at the plans I think this might be one of the harder two ways to go and
be one of the harder two ways to go and
be one of the harder two ways to go and might be a little bit easier to stick
might be a little bit easier to stick
might be a little bit easier to stick some kind of electric igniter near the

to the plans we’re gonna finish this
to the plans we’re gonna finish this thing out with a propane torch now the
thing out with a propane torch now the
thing out with a propane torch now the basic modification we need to make with
basic modification we need to make with
basic modification we need to make with the torch itself is actually to bend
the torch itself is actually to bend
the torch itself is actually to bend this part forward because when it’s
this part forward because when it’s
this part forward because when it’s resting up against here you can see the
resting up against here you can see the
resting up against here you can see the flame goes straight through the gasoline
flame goes straight through the gasoline
flame goes straight through the gasoline we want it to be more in line with the
we want it to be more in line with the
we want it to be more in line with the flow but unfortunately it’s not quite as
flow but unfortunately it’s not quite as
flow but unfortunately it’s not quite as easy as just taking this tube and
easy as just taking this tube and
easy as just taking this tube and bending it there are things on the
bending it there are things on the
bending it there are things on the inside that we need to tweak we also
inside that we need to tweak we also
inside that we need to tweak we also want to modify the handle so it offsets
want to modify the handle so it offsets
want to modify the handle so it offsets about 130 degrees if we can use it more
about 130 degrees if we can use it more
about 130 degrees if we can use it more of the handle for striking the flame on
of the handle for striking the flame on
of the handle for striking the flame on our flamethrower so we’re gonna get down
our flamethrower so we’re gonna get down
our flamethrower so we’re gonna get down here we’re gonna undo the nuts and the
here we’re gonna undo the nuts and the
here we’re gonna undo the nuts and the bolts we’re gonna pull out the
bolts we’re gonna pull out the
bolts we’re gonna pull out the electrical cable we’re gonna heat this
electrical cable we’re gonna heat this
electrical cable we’re gonna heat this thing up with another torch Bend it let
thing up with another torch Bend it let
thing up with another torch Bend it let it cool down and then we’re gonna drill
it cool down and then we’re gonna drill
it cool down and then we’re gonna drill a tap a hole and reassemble everything
a tap a hole and reassemble everything
a tap a hole and reassemble everything and hopefully it works
and hopefully it works
and hopefully it works [Music]

[Music] [Applause]
so what I just did is took a little
so what I just did is took a little allen wrench and I ended this set screw
allen wrench and I ended this set screw
allen wrench and I ended this set screw which allowed me to remove the entire
which allowed me to remove the entire
which allowed me to remove the entire nozzle at that point I unscrewed the tip
nozzle at that point I unscrewed the tip
nozzle at that point I unscrewed the tip and we could see down inside there was a
and we could see down inside there was a
and we could see down inside there was a little green wire which is used to make
little green wire which is used to make
little green wire which is used to make the electric spark to actually light off
the electric spark to actually light off
the electric spark to actually light off the propane or the map gas that little
the propane or the map gas that little
the propane or the map gas that little green wire needed to come out so we took
green wire needed to come out so we took
green wire needed to come out so we took a little elbow bracket pull the cap off
a little elbow bracket pull the cap off
a little elbow bracket pull the cap off that and then unscrewed it so that we
that and then unscrewed it so that we
that and then unscrewed it so that we could push the green wire up through the
could push the green wire up through the
could push the green wire up through the top of the nozzle and that’s what we
top of the nozzle and that’s what we
top of the nozzle and that’s what we have now so at this point we’re gonna
have now so at this point we’re gonna
have now so at this point we’re gonna make two main modifications to it we’re
make two main modifications to it we’re
make two main modifications to it we’re gonna heat up this elbow to the point
gonna heat up this elbow to the point
gonna heat up this elbow to the point where we can bend it up a couple of
where we can bend it up a couple of
where we can bend it up a couple of inches and straighten it out they’re
inches and straighten it out they’re
inches and straighten it out they’re gonna drill and tap a hole into the side
gonna drill and tap a hole into the side
gonna drill and tap a hole into the side of the brass so when we put the whole
of the brass so when we put the whole
of the brass so when we put the whole thing back together it would be offset
thing back together it would be offset
thing back together it would be offset to the point where we can start off our
to the point where we can start off our
to the point where we can start off our flamethrower with the press of a button

alright guys so here is where we’re at
alright guys so here is where we’re at with our nozzle we took the other
with our nozzle we took the other
with our nozzle we took the other propane torch we heated this up and then
propane torch we heated this up and then
propane torch we heated this up and then we used a wrench to bend it over about
we used a wrench to bend it over about
we used a wrench to bend it over about two inches or so just so it flattens out
two inches or so just so it flattens out
two inches or so just so it flattens out the angle then we located the original
the angle then we located the original
the angle then we located the original hope for that 90-degree elbow and we
hope for that 90-degree elbow and we
hope for that 90-degree elbow and we flipped it over about a hundred and
flipped it over about a hundred and
flipped it over about a hundred and thirty degrees and drilled and tapped a
thirty degrees and drilled and tapped a
thirty degrees and drilled and tapped a new hole into the top drilled with a
new hole into the top drilled with a
new hole into the top drilled with a 7/32 inch drill bit and tapped with a
7/32 inch drill bit and tapped with a
7/32 inch drill bit and tapped with a quarter inch f28 I also had a little bit
quarter inch f28 I also had a little bit
quarter inch f28 I also had a little bit of heat shrink tubing onto the green
of heat shrink tubing onto the green
of heat shrink tubing onto the green cable itself and that’s just to help
cable itself and that’s just to help
cable itself and that’s just to help protect it from any scratches and give
protect it from any scratches and give
protect it from any scratches and give it a little bit more thermal insulation
it a little bit more thermal insulation
it a little bit more thermal insulation so the last step now is just to rerun
so the last step now is just to rerun
so the last step now is just to rerun that green wire through everything and
that green wire through everything and
that green wire through everything and use the new hole for our 90-degree elbow
use the new hole for our 90-degree elbow
use the new hole for our 90-degree elbow and we basically put the propane torch

put the nozzle back on screw it onto a
put the nozzle back on screw it onto a tank of propane and see if it still
tank of propane and see if it still
tank of propane and see if it still lights off all right moment of truth and
lights off all right moment of truth and
lights off all right moment of truth and pull the trigger if this thing lights
pull the trigger if this thing lights
pull the trigger if this thing lights off we should be good
looks like it’s firing off just about
looks like it’s firing off just about every time so let’s go ahead and strap
every time so let’s go ahead and strap
every time so let’s go ahead and strap it up strapping this propane tank to our
