What kind of extinguisher? Dry chem, water, CO2,? The latter runs
continuously at the vapor pressure of liquid CO2 at RT or approx 900 psig.
But there's only one port so you have to make a multi function fitting with
a dip tube.
The other extinguishers run at much lower pressures but should work if your
Pc is low ~ 200psia. I used soda dispenser containers which yield at
600-650psig
and are SS so good for LOx.
Many questions require answers.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking into some options with regards to the fuel tank for my liquid
rocket engine and would appreciate some advice with regards to the general
structure. As of right now, I am considering using a fire extinguisher tank
and modifying it with regulators, pressure release valves, check valves
etc. Is this a good (or dangerous) idea? And if so what is the best way to
implement it. I should mention I am not planning to deal with extreme
pressures as this is my first attempt with rocket engines.
Kind regards, Charlie
