I got the tank from a jewelry supply company, not a welding company, so they don't deliver or pick up.
What happened is after turning the tank off and opening the hose to dispel all gas, the regular went down to zero as normal. But after about 30 minutes, it popped back up. So I again bled the hose, etc. It continued to happen so I removed the torch and reinstalled it, checking with soapy water for leaks. There were no leaks. I did this about 3 times, thinking maybe there was something wrong with the way I was connecting the torch. But after removing it the third time, I smelled the tank valve where the gas comes out and it was a very strong acetylene smell coming out of the tank. That is when I popped on it's plastic cap and put it outside.
I know the supplier won't come pick it up, but I will call them in the morning to see what they want me to do about this. We do transport our tanks in our cars here in Georgia, and I've never heard it was against the law. I've been using acetylene for about 8 years (jewelry) and have never had a problem like this.
Thank you for all your replies!
