I just went back and re-read your original post. The lease on the
new place you have rented does not allow storage of combustibles or
explosives. Empty the acetylene tank. Oxygen is neither
combustible or explosive. (You may have to argue with some people
about it.)


I'm a little vague on how this will help him sell an O/A rig he no
longer needs. The guy has unneeded gear and wants money, this is not
a tough problem guys. If I was closer I'd throw you an offer. BTW
emptying an acetylene tank of Acetylene will leave you with a tank
full of acetone...which is still highly flammable.


Go back and read his original post. He seemed, at that point, to only
be trying to get rid of the rig because of the terms of the lease (in
which case, solutions that involved keeping the rig seemed
preferable). It was only later that it came out he might just want to
get rid of it anyway.
