Haha wow! I'm shure it will be back up soon. At any Rate It separated at the weld on the neck and gave the dude a replacement mapp gas shower. With extra fire! I believe I'll stick with oxy acetalene.

I would think an acetylene tank could fail just as easily...
hehe, reminds me of my first crucible for aluminum:
I bought an acetylene tank from the flea market for $10 (haggled from $25). It was so retired it wasn't even funny. all rusted, no labels, came with cracked hose. The funny part: It was FULL!!!
anyways, I drained all the gas (didn't dare use it as it's intended - far too risky), filled with water, cut in half, and used the bottom half as a crucible. It didn't work for long... cast iron was better.
