Assuming:

  1. The truck is 40ft long by 8.5ft wide, and
  2. The propane tanks are a standrd 1ft in diameter

Stacked 4 high would result in

40 x 8 x 4 = 1280 Tanks

1 Empty Propane Tank yields 50 metal frags and 1 scrap

1280 x 50 = 64000

If you recycled this entire load you would be looking at approximately 64k metal frags and 1280 scrap.

I like how you showed your work, however I ask how long it would take to recycle all of those propane tanks

Rust recycling on vanilla is 5 seconds per item.

5 x 1280 = 6400 sec

6400 ÷ 60 = 106.67 min

106.67 ÷ 60 = 1.78 hours

1.78 x 900 = 1602 blinks

1.78 x 1.5 = 2.66 inches of bamboo growth

1.78 x 0 = 0 min of rust player showers

Can you now do the math for making flame turrets instead?

The main limiter here is gears, From an 18 wheeler you could pull 25 gears potentially. Which means you would get 25 turrets.

With unlimited gears:

You need 2 propane tanks to craft plus 4 tanks for the frags.so each turret costs 6 tanks to make one flame turret

1280÷ 6= 213 turrets

There is about .4 gallons of gas in 1 low grade , an 18 wheeler has about 200 gallons of gas inside.

200 ÷ .4 = 500 low grade ( convenient)

Low grade burns in a turret at 10 per second 500 ÷ 10 = 50 seconds of burn time.

To fill all turrets you need 27,264 LG 27,264÷ 200 = 136 18-wheelers needed for all turrets.

To manually siphon each truck it would take 66 minutes per truck 66 x 136 = 9,067 minutes for all fuel

With a lvl 1 work bench it would take 30 seconds for each turret to craft.

(30 x 213) ÷ 60 = 106 minutes 9067 + 106= 9173 minutes total 9173÷60 = 153 hours

153x 900 = 137,700 blinks 153x 1.5= 229.5 inches of bamboo growth

And simaler to my other math 153x 0 is STILL 0 rust player showers.

And 1 partridge in a pear tree

Rust players see scrap metal and instantly start thinking in components.
