What makes a good hydraulic reservoir? I have two old small propane tanks that hold 5 gallon each. I was going to mount a 13.5 gpm pump off of the front of my tractor, drive it from the crankshaft, and mount the two propane tanks slightly above it on both sides of it and plumb them in parallel. I have filled the tanks with water. The next step is to turn them upside down and tap a hole to feed oil to the pump.
So is ten gallons enough for a 13.5 pump?
Is there another source of cheap tanks to use for reservoirs?
