[Jewelry making - Article 00487] - [Orchid] New Acetylene Gas Burns Orange

    Hi all, I just exchanged my acetylene tank for a refilled one.  I
    drove it home keeping it always in an upright position.  When I got
    it home and installed the flame burned with an orange glow.  The heat
    is still the same for soldering.  I called the supplier and they said
    it must have been tipped and acetone got into the valve and it will
    get better.  It's been 5 days now and still orange.  Should I demand
    an exchange or live with it?  If living with it do I risk damaging my
    equipment? 

Thanks in advance!
