Be very afraid of this method.
You are building a bomb with this.
Air and gas in a barrel is not safe plus a barrel is not rated as a pressure vessel.
If you are going to do this at all use nitrogen to pressure a gas filled vessel.
Be very afraid on this method as noted as gas and air/oxygen do not mix safely in a closed vessel.
