Posted By david wark Does anyone know if oxygen and acetylene can be stored in the same external storage area and if so, how far does the store need to be from the building ? Thanks

Posted By SteveD-M David It depends on the amount you are storing. Yes they can be stored together but the distances from buildings etc will vary from 1m to 3m. You need to get hold of BCGA GN2 for the distances..drop me a line if you need more specific answers.

Posted By John Richards Oxygen should be stored separately from fuel gases. At least 3 metre separation.
