Why do so many welding trailers and welding rigs have the cylinders on an angle? I understand that typically O2 and some of the inert shielding gas can be tipped. But the acetylene is a whole different deal. I just modified a skid that my welder is on and put the oxygen at 45 degrees and I kept the acetylene standing straight up. But it makes me wonder why I see so many trailers/rigs with BOTH cylinders angled.
Look at this photo, they have these cylinders tipped even further than 45 degrees. Has something changed with acetylene cylinders or maybe folks are running propane instead of acetylene?
