Probably can. Those tanks are very thick walled. Would probably need to put some heating fuel tank fittings on it (aluminum non-spark filler caps and the like). You can certainly get attachable gas pumps from Northern tool or Grainger I bet. CAUTION: If it has ever had any propane in it be sure to fill tank completely with water once before doing any modifications. Blowing it out with compressed air can create an explosive mixture -every bit as, or more dangerous than working on one with pure propane in it. Anything can make a spark: steel tools, steel pipe fittings, power tools, static build-up on your body, ringing cell phones -google that one- etc. After draining water fully, can slosh a gallon of denatured alcohol around in it to absorb the water. This will also allow any remaining water to become miscible with future gas acting like "gas line antifreeze" I don"t know how tanks come when new, maybe filled with an inert gas like nitrogen or CO2? Perhaps someone could comment...
