Be VERY VERY VERY carefull if you try this. Draino and other comercial drain cleaners are SODIUM HYDROXIDE. Also may be called: CAUSTIC SODA or LYE. This will react violently to zinc and produce HYDROGEN GAS, and we all know what happened to the Hindenburg. I have found that some replacement gas tanks (NOTE I said REPLACEMENT as several manufactures have made replacement tanks in the past, NO LONGER PRODUCED THOUGH) are galvnized, or zinc plated.
BE CAREFULL!!!!!!
