Might be just a valve gasket breakdown. Oxidize hydrocarbon and you get
a flash bang that is for certain.

I wondered if compressing oxygen and acetylene in the same volume could
create a spontaneous reaction. Much like O2 and grease in high pressure
fittings.

Well, acetylene explodes at pressure above 15 PSIG, doesn't it?

And the cylinder is filled with kitty litter. Which is why those tanks
are so heavy. Acet may..may explode spontainiouly if more than a
cubic foot is free in space. So they keep the open space to zero
inside those tanks.
