        mmmmm, i wonder what would be better in a taste test.....

        the odorizer used with acetyline or the odorizer used with propane??

        im envisioning the pepsi challenge....

          I'm pretty sure it's the same odorizer in both cases.

          No matter, though. The mercaptan will burn up and leave the food smelling like... food.

              btw - I don't believe they add an odorizer to acetylene from what I've heard.

                I imagine the need for the average person to be alerted to leaking acetylene is not too great, seeing as it's not too appropriate for house or BBQ use.

                "OK, everyone, I'm starting the grill- put on your goggles!"

                  They might not add anything, but in that case it must naturally smell like ass. At least, whatever comes out of our tank does.

                  When it gets low it can smell like acetone too, but you're never supposed to let it get to that point.

                    I'm pretty sure that that's just how acetylene smells - and it's worse than ass in my opinion.

                    I believe way way back when they actually added acetylene to natural gas as an early odorizer. I also read that they used nitrobenzene as an odorizer way back when too...sweet!!! ;)

    By the way, I just realized I have two acy regulators but NO oxy regulator (I lost a bunch of regs when Rogue burned). So I'm going to need to either buy one ASAP (probably not enough time), or someone will need to bring an Oxy regulator..
