Welcome aboard, all the information you need to answer your questions is here on the forums, happy reading and good luck on the build. I've never heard of someone having all the right stuff for a proper build just laying around so be prepared to spend a little.

Welcome to HD PBRman...
Trying to cut anything smaller than 10L can be a PITA, but it can be done... Better to go with a minimum of 30L (that would give you a 20L charge)... It will be a lot easier to control the cuts...
Here are some links to what I call Essential Reading...
EDIT: Just beat me to it OD....

If you have a derelict gas hot water system you can salvage the burner.
Make sure you use the correct orifice, for propane or natural gas.
