I picked up a torch set sunday. It has 2 full sized oxy and 2 small acetylene tanks. They have been stored at in-laws garage for years, possible decades for the acetylene tanks. How do I find out if I can get them filled? Obvious choice would be to just go down and try, But I've heard of gas suppliers seizing tanks if you can't prove there yours. These are or should be owner tanks, but nobody has paper work.
The acetylene tanks are about 2-2.5' tall and about 6" diameter, the oxygen, one is about 6' tall by 6" diameter and other is roughly 6' by 8". I don't have picks, was too dark, but I can get some tonight.
How rusty can an acetylene tank be, and be safe or more importantly how rusty be no one will refill.
If I use oxy-propane can I use the acetylene tanks for argon or CO2?
