Safe transport of single Acetylene cylinders

           Depending on the quantity of product, the transportation of acetylene cylinders may be subject to the Transport of Dangerous Goods Regulations (“ADR”), which the supplier can advise upon.

Acetylene cylinders should be transported in the supplier’s vehicle. If using private transport, it is strongly recommended that an open or well ventilated vehicle is used.

           Do NOT transport acetylene cylinders in an unventilated vehicle or unventilated compartment within the vehicle, because small leaks can create explosive atmospheres. Always close cylinder valves during transport - Acetylene cylinders are never completely empty because acetylene is dissolved in the solvent and residual acetylene remains, even if there is no more flow/pressure when the valve is open.Ensure that any valve protection is in place and that regulators and other equipment are disconnected from

the cylinder before transport.

           Always ensure that gas cylinders are fixed and secured for transport, preferably in the vertical position and separated from the driver’s compartment. Always respect no smoking requirements. When the destination is reached, remove any cylinder(s) from the vehicle. Do not store cylinder(s) inside any vehicle

           Here are pictures of an acetylene cylinder that was being transported in a van.  The acetylene tank was leaking and was ignited when activating a remote door lock device.

Never transport acetylene cylinders in a car or van.  Acetylene cylinders should be transportated in an open vehicle and safely secured to the vehicle.  The safest mode of transporation is to have your local supplier deliver the cylinders to your location.
