    I use plain acetylene for soldering and I have my tank delivered
    to my home.  One of the owners of the welding shop does not live
    too far from me.  He even hooks the whole thing up and tests it
    for leaks.  I give him a tip but it is really worth it.  I then
    chain it to the leg of my soldering bench.  I also have a
    plastic shelf unit which I turned upside down to put the tank
    on.  This will prevent the bottom of the tank from getting damp.
     My brother also owns a transmission shop and if I have what I
    think could be a problem I call him.  So far, I have run into no
    major problem. 

    I have heard that the EPA is really against keeping a tank of
    acetylene and oxygen in the same room.  In fact, several dealers
    who sell the tanks cannot even store them in the same room.  A
    couple of friends of mine who use the combination have been
    keeping their tanks of oxygen outside of their ground floor
    workshops. 

    With any fuel, just be careful and treat the tank as you would
    electricity - with a great deal of respect.
