    Oroy54; A very long time ago I used mapp gas and you had to shut off at the tank in cold weather. If you shut off at the tip handle the mapp gas would liquify in the hose, then you would get flaming globs of liquid mapp. Sometimes coming a little to close to my naugty bits. I changed back to acetylene and still have my naughty bits.

    Don't you guy's up north have problems with your acetylene coming out of the bottle? We used to use butane for heating but when it gets really cold... that's when we switched to Propane...Just like the King of the hill guy. I had a 2000# clorine cylinder leak at work because someone put a steam hose on it and melted the lead plug. What a mess.

    It is kind of a secret among the bottled gas people but when your fusible plug blows you can just stick some chewed gum back in there

    For oxygen tanks, >>>> Bring peanut oil up to 550*F and slowly lower tank into cooker being careful not to splash any hot oil on your new "I'm An Idiot" apron.

    No flame required spotty, acetylene exiting at higher pressures will ignite from the friction caused hitting the air molecules. It’s one of the most unstable substances known to man, or women.

    Yep and that's where MC Hammer got his name too?
    You can also use your B tank for B jobs. Thats what the song Light My Fire was about.

    Are you saying not to sterilize your b-tank by immersing it in boiling water?
    I think it would be higher than that.

    I don't know why. I did a Google search and found those figures repeatedly.

    Personally, I never sterolize my tanks anyway.

    Don't mix fuels tho. Only do this in a gas oven. Could be very dangerous in an electric.
    Well of course, whadda ya think he is, a moron?
