You've never had anything fall on you? Off a shelf, off a truck, off another part you thought was clamped firmly enough...
Murphy is a real ***** when the braking force is explosive (braking as in stopping - not breaking as in broken).
Call me paranoid, but I would put a bar over your tanks to protect the valves from falling objects. Acetylene is no joke.Syncrowave 250DX

The first pic you posted with the gauges they were both aimed to the left. If you rotate the acetylene to the right 180, then both of them are inboard of the 4 sides. If something fell from above, it would hit your oxygen valve first.
As bad as having a 3000psi tank bust a valve off is, I would rather deal with the rocket than the big BOOM you would incur with the acetylene seeing the same fate.Syncrowave 250DX

Done, and done
OK, Jim, I took your advice. Acetylene gauges are not well positioned, but can be viewed. I finally got around to doing the initial task that prompted purchase of the setup (dewarpifying the frame of another project). Thank you for the suggestion.

But I've got this brother-in-law that could be a close second...Out of all the stupid things I've seen peeple do with pressure cylinders and fuel gases the guys in my shop seem to be the worst!
