Hi Tracy,

    My acetylene tank is a size B, I believe, and I store it inside our
    studio/garage.  It's under pressure so you want to keep it secured
    so it doesn't fall over. 

    Here is a comparison of fuel temperatures that I found somewhere
    that you might find useful. 

        Fuel Temperature			(degrees F)

        Acetylene & Oxygen				6000
        MAPP & Oxygen					5300
        Butane & Oxygen				4995
        Hydrogen & Oxygen				4850
        Propane & Oxygen				4780
        Natural Gas & Oxygen			4600
        Acetylene & Air					4217
        Hydrogen & Air					3713
        MAPP & Air						3600
        Propane & Air					3497
        Butane & Air						3443
        Natural Gas & Air				3420

Cheers.
