I use Prest-O-Lite "B" tanks with the offset valve. They can be found at your local welding supply house mixed in with the regular "B" tanks. They will not have the tank gauge in the bottom because those type won't be filled by the acetylene stations anymore. I use a small two gauge acetylene regulator which gives the "tank" pressure. To turn them off just close the "B" tank valve and they go out in about 10 seconds.

Did you use a modern "B" tank, or one of the old horizontal tanks?

How bright are these compared to your average halogen headlights of the last 60 some odd year old cars? Both in terms of being able to see at night and when you’re looking at the actual lights. Great video I had figured cars just always used halogen bulbs until prior to the 1920’s I figured they had used regular tungsten electric bulbs. Had no clue they used gas lights, but I read it was because the tungsten’s just didn’t last long enough.

Hello! Thanks for the interesting video! I would like to use a short part of your video in my film about the lighting system of old soviet tractors. Can I do it? A link to your video will be required! Thank you!
