I'm building a rear bumper with a tire carrier and i wanted to use the main part of the bumper as an air tank. Is 3/16 wall square tubing strong enough for 110 to 120 psi? Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chad

yes, 3/16 is plenty strong.

3x5 rectangular tubing is a good size to use for a bumper tank.

And heavy, If I did it again I would probably go with something lighter (I used 2X6 3/16-all they had in stock that size)
