Hmm yeah that might be an issue. Since I won't be using it too frequently, I thought owning tanks would be better than leasing and I was told that I couldn't own the larger ones. The seller says that the Acetylene is a "B" tank and the Oxygen is 40 cu ft. I'll call my local welding shop (Airgas) and see if they would take these in trade and if I could trade up a size.
