Question about air tanks and putting stuff in them - weezerfan2001 - 09-30-2022
So I know you can put chems in fire extinguishers, but could you put chems inside of air tanks some way? If not, what can you do with air tanks to manipulate them?

Chems and atmos are separate systems. So you wouldn't be able to put any chemical into an air tank, but you could put any of the major gases (farts, n2O, oxygen, N2, co2, plasma, oxygen agent B) into a tank. Pretty much the extent of what you can do with these is set up a tank with plasma and breathe it if you have plasmatoid lungs; swap the air supply tanks in pods; or fill a tank with something noxious and use it as a gag (say, a clown repeatedly knocking themselves out with a tank full of N2O).

ok gotcha, thanks! how would i put n2 or co2 or n20 into a tank by chance?

youd want to put the tank into one of the blue air pumps and then pump the contents out of the tank. Then youd stick the tank into one of the large cannisters of whatever gas it is you need and open the release valve to transfer the gas to the handheld tank.

when you transfer gas into an empty cannister, how would you heat the gas?

you'd have to heat it in advance before putting it into a handheld tank. so you'd have a big canister that you link up to the burn chamber in toxins or the engine, then you have a burn mix that you start on fire to warm the gas going through the pipes. then you just collect it in a big canister at the output and you can put your handheld tank in that
