Disposable propane bottle brake vacuum reservoir

Makes a lot more sense now, thanks. I might have to do some research on how that works. Never heard of it before but sounds interesting. All my driving is low speed stop and go. I would think it would take a pretty big accumulator to get that truck to 40 mph, but even getting to 20 would make a big difference. Good luck with it. Hope you get it working.

I'd like to be able to cut them open, put a piston inside then weld them back up.

Don't blow yourself up. The engineering on these things is pretty rigorous.

I'm not saying you're not smart enough to do it right, I'm saying there's lots of really smart people who've already sweated the details and put their reputations on the line that their product will do the job you're describing. Sure it's a lot more expensive, but if your homebrew one goes pop and blows your foot off, the store-bought one starts to look pretty cheap.
