Hello Keith, Malcolm, and everyone,
Keith - Not being familiar w/ Japan at all this may be no help at all to you
Keith, but when I go to get my bottles refilled (CO2, Argon, and
OxyAcetylene) the guys there are always trying to sell, or sometimes even
give away, old damaged tanks. These tanks
piles of discarded bottles of all shapes and sizes.

Hi Malcolm
Damn, now I won't get that Darwin award I was hoping for... :-)
Thanks very much! A timely warning, I was planning to do it at the
weekend. (Phew!)

Malcom,
If memory serves me correctly...acetylene tanks are also made with a
somewhat porous inner wall to aid
We are getting on to some tricky territory here.
My recollection is that volatile flammable substances tend to be absorbed
in the pore space of the metal in drums etc. When the metal is heated they
come out of the pores and are ignited.
I believe there is a protocol for working with such drums

Couldn't one just purge the tank with a couple dozen volumes
Hi Keith,
I'm glad to hear you've decided against doing a bit of backyard bomb
disposal!!!
Thanks to you... but I was more bothered by the Keith-disposal aspect.
Nothing's cheap in Japan, it's either expensive or free (gomi, junk).
Actually not quite true, there's quite a lot of stuff
If you want bottles, try places that refill fire extingishers, I've
seen piles of discarded bottles of all shapes and sizes.
Lucky you - we had a really hard time finding them too. Finally
nailed down a coupleof small ones, one of which I used inour Turk
burner. A fire extinguisher would
Point of safety
I'll build another burner unit like the adapted Mother Earth burner
described in the previous post, with a forced-air supply like the first one,
but much smaller. I've got an empty acetylene tank
(oxy-acetylene) about 9 diameter, and I'll use that, cut down,
I wouldn't

I asked the engineer who gave it to me and he wasn't very concerned.
He knew I wanted to cut it up and gave it to me for that purpose.
