You might want to think twice before carrying/storing an acetylene tank in your vehicle.

Oh yeah..I used to haul hundreds at a time along with every kind of other compressed cylinders over the Southwest and saw the aftermath of a turned over trailer and location some cylinders hundreds if not thousands of feet away...bottled rockets are the only description I could use!

No sign of fire?   Just rapid expansion?

Could CO2 do that?

The only death I came across was when a welder using his stick welder hit the side of a full sized full K cylinder of oxygen...the bottle split from that weakened point and allowed the unit to explode..not sure but I think it's about 2k of pressure per sq. inch...needless to say it blew the skin off his exposed skin leaving a skeletal exposure!

Now you see what a K or a T cylinder might do! X a couple hundred at a time!
