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.
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!
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.
To turn the lamps off, just turn off the gas valve on the acetylene "B" tank. It takes about ten seconds for the flame to go out. Very simple system when you are using a Prest-O-Lite acetylene tank instead of the carbide generator on the running board.
Thankyou very much for the response and Thankyou very much for sharing! You've taught me something I had never knew until last night. P.S. I'm a millennial by the way, but appreciate the older technology from the 19th century! Thankyou again for sharing

Amazing
🎉❤❤
how many people can say i have to light my headlights before they drive away??😂😂
Great video nonetheless! Thanks for uploading!
Did you use a modern "B" tank, or one of the old horizontal tanks?
Wow

20th century. Sorry!
@@kenparker7154 Are there left and right turn signals or brake lights? Thanks for the video.
