Mark,

    I agree with you, with this addition. Your Oxygen tank is very
    dangerous. You could get a flash fire with a leak. If your work area
    is on fire, the fire department fears your O2 tank more than the
    acetylene.

    With acetylene you need an oxidizer, where the O2 is the ozidizer.
    The acetylene bottle may burst and maybe feed the fuel source of the
    fire, the O2 will make it burn hotter and the fire will spread
    rapidly. 

    An automotive shop that have a O/A torch with medium sized bottle
    caught fire. The O2 bottle weny off like a rocket, while the
    acetylene bottle just ruptured. 

Jerry
