Talking about hydraulics, I'm planning on using oxygen tanks to make a hydraulic regent braking system for my s10. I'm wanting to have one tank hold pressure and the other hold vacuum after braking, so that way one pushes while the other pulls to try getting more power from a lower pressure. I'd like to be able to cut them open, put a piston inside then weld them back up.
