    If you are going to be a jeweler you need flamable gas. The stuff is
    dangerous it is explosive it could blow up your house I have two
    huge hydrogen tanks that I use for platinum casting I have a large
    actelene tank for welding and a real big propane tank that is about
    five feet long for my forge and blast furnace if it went up there
    goes the neighborhood. I have all these tanks stored in my shop
    except for the propane which is just outside the door I am careful
    to make sure that they are chained to the wall so they cant fall
    over and that I turn off the valve at night I dont bleed my hoses or
    back off the regulator maybe I should but I never have and have
    never had a problem. I would leave your tank right by your bench at
    night and use it till it is completley empty then go get a refill or
    better yet have a backup so you are not left stranded. These tanks
    are in buildings and houses all over the world and you dont here
    stories of them blowing up or causing fires everday. If the building
    catches on fire it would probably not be because of your tank unless
    it leaked and ignited by your heater. Just make sure you close the
    valve when you are done you will be fine.
