My father-in-law passed away about 4 years ago. He had in his garage an oxy/acet. torch set-up that he had not used for probably 10 years prior to his passing. He owned the tanks outright. It is all still sitting there.
How safe is it to have this stuff laying around, considering how long it has been sitting?
The hoses are probably rotten but with new hoses would it be safe to use the rig? Should the regulators be checked? I do not know the brand but the F.I.L was a machinest and only used good tools, so i am sure it was a quality set.
I am sure a refill would require a recertification- would it even be worth it? If it's not worth trying to revive this stuff, how does one dispose of it?
