Hi- I work as a jeweler, and have one small oxygen tank (about 14"high/ 17"diameter) and one small acetylene tank (20" high/ 20" diameter). I currently live in New Mexico, and will be moving to Wisconsin in about a month- I will be driving cross country w/a small car and a 10' U-haul box-truck. I am wondering if it is safe to travel with these 2 tanks secured in an upright position, in the back of the U-haul truck? My questions/concerns are: 1. Is it safe to transport them this way- could it be too hot in the U-haul for them? 2. Should they both be emptied of gas before being transported? 3. Is thare anything else I ought to know about how to safely transport these tanks? Thanks for reading this, and for any help you can offer me!
