I love this suggestion.

I envision a new piece of machinery in my shop in the near future.
The cheapest garage sale dryer I can find turned into a commercial sized rock tumbler.

I'm sorry but there's no f**king way I'd remotely consider putting a gas tank in a tumble dryer no matter how well it's be wrapped. Something is going to get dented or warped, gotta put that one in my top 10 dumb ideas list.
