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.
If it is a company you have never heard of, just call your local welding supply place and ask them. For example, Union Carbide is found on some tanks, but they are no longer in the welding gas business and such a tank could be owned by an individual.Also look at the ICC number. had a little portable brazing/welding rig. As near as I could tell it had an MC size (10CF) acetylene bottle (8.5 pounds) along with a 20CF oxygen bottle (13 pounds). A good match given that you typically use oxygen at twice the rate as acetylene. And the pair of botles weighs 21.5 pounds, very portable.
