"POOP"
Just picked up two brand new 40# propane tanks and an enormous oxygen tank to finally fire up my new Mega Minor. I have been on a hot head  for the past three months or so with just small bottles of MAPP gas...
All I can remember now is POOP! I hope I get the connections right and I have it set up correctly!

lol, thanks David! Well I was all geared up to either bead all night or for a mass explosion...however, my enormous oxygen tank seems to have no pressure...could they have possibly given me an empty tank?! goodness.

Julie - couple ideas to try ...
You might already have done so of course but ...
- check the pressure dial on your regulator .... need to turn it up depending on what torch you're running. You should be able to look up the ideal oxy psi on the manufacturer's web page, and you should be able to see how empty/full the tank is on that other dial on that same regulator!
Or ... if you have flashback arrestor on that line, check that it hasn't been put on the wrong way ... there's an arrow on it that shows the direction of the flow I think ...
Or it could be empty as you say ... but if it's really heavy and you turn the knob and hear the gas escaping then you'll know it's not ....!!
Good luck!

Hi Julie ... sorry I should have said turn the knob on the tank itself without the hoses attached .... ... and you'll hear if it's full or not ... if you did that with the arrestors in place that are the wrong way round you wouldn't hear anything of course!!!!
Hope I'm not confusing everything!

I use the "poop" word everytime I turn on the oxy and propane. You would think after this long it would be second nature and maybe it would be but I'd rather "poop" than "BOOM"!!!!!!!
