NO! been talked about a lot on here. Danger, Danger will rodgers.

Some guys have said those are only built to and tested for like 3 or 4 PSI.

Move along. You don't need a tank to rupture and dump 200 degree water, and 1000 gallons of it into your house.

You would need to reinforce the ends with ribs at right angles to the end sheets like in a star pattern maybe, then a half inch rod down the middle just to be sure. But really need to find a PE to do some analysis for real, the cylinder walls may be kinda thin. Welding could be done with the right precautions, but pretty scary nonetheless. For that money a propane tank shouldn't be out of reach.

If nothing else get a couple propane tanks,they are most likely clean inside,you be able to weld fittings on them,like me I could not handle a big tank so I hooked up 4 smaller tanks in a loop,works great, and I used one for DHW with coil worked out good,this 2nd, year for me with this.
