The official answer is to ALWAYS have your acetylene tank standing up, whether in use or in transport or in storage. Many people do transport acetylene on it's side, but if you choose to do this, let it stand up for at least a couple of hours before you draw from it. Also you'd better be darn sure the tank valve doesn't leak.
Lighter than steel tanks, aluminum dive tanks are easier to transport and swim with, giving your shoulders and arms a break on long treks. Because of their light weight, some aluminum tanks will begin to float at the end of a dive, once the oxygen supply is nearly depleted. To combat this, it's common to counter-weight an aluminum dive tank with approximately 4 pounds. However, Compact Neutral aluminum tanks are made with thicker walls, which increase the weight and help to counteract the positive buoyancy problems at the end of a long dive. Scuba Tank Accessories
