Oxygen & Acetylene tanks

Joseph · Mar 25, 2019

I have an oxygen and an acetylene tank free for the taking. I prefer you take both. They are out of test. The oxygen tank is clearly marked “customer owned” the acetylene tank does not specify.

I was wondering if I was the only one with that problem

My dear wife will have to call a scrap man to get my junk I don't want to part with .

If they were closer, I'd take them.

Good Luck!

I cut an old Oxy tank in half to make a gong. I managed to hang it temporarily just to see how it would ring. It sounded really cool...and then I never did anything else with it

Because...you know...time :rolleyes:

Supposedly you can also make bowling ball mortars out of them... :innocent0

You're not really that far off. The popularity of "technical diving" has really gotten popular, multiple tanks, different mixtures, and modern advances in dive computers that monitor and calculate ratios and decompression timing/stops all that real time as you dive. Lots of peeps delving into a new realm of underwater diving compared to years ago

I'm just a measly open water single air tank recreational diver

I know it sure is different from when I was using twin US Divers 50's and a duel hose system.

My youngest son is an open water diver. (Recreational.)
The Dads at the Boy Scout Troop were going to get certified too, but, I had a bout of upper respiratory infection at the time, and couldn't participate.

Always wanted to learn and get certification.

I remember seeing one of the "Sea Hunt" episodes, (decades ago!), where Steve Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) used an oxygen tank and a rubber hose, to bring a trapped worker 'up' from an underwater cave.

Saw it again, not too long ago, on Hulu.

My twin tanks were repurposed CO2 fire extinguishers and all the straps were double "D" rings. I still have it and a double hose regulator.

If you get in a fight underwater with Mike Nelson you are going to need a new exhaust hose.

I get bad enough bends when the barometer changes

They do make great gongs, better if you get them powder coated!

DCS (the Bends) cost me my shoulder.

Likely cause of my avascular necrosis which cost me my hips.
126' up to ~80' and then a huge lobster came out from a coral head. My half narced ass went back down. I realized I screwed up and sat at 15' until my tank was so empty it lifted me to the surface. I was itchy, but nothing "significant". I later learned the itch was probably my capillaries popping.

That would be awesome to do the wind chimes...

I had done some sleuthing on the topic. A very well organized website, including the calculations, physics of it all. Need to find it...
