Just tried out my new small cutting setup and when I got the tank from the
local supplier the pressure was way under 100 psi, maybe as low as 50, I
don't remember the exact amount.
Usage was at best 20 minutes. I was cutting bolts and stuff, a couple of
minutes of cutting up some sheet metal.
Looks like a #1 tip.
Did I get shorted by my filler?
Thanks.

Jeff,
Either you did, or your gauge is broken. A full acetylene cylinder
should read 400psi. I had one that read 200psi on a cold day. My
supplier told me this was normal so I took him at his word.

I forgot to add that sometimes the valves on cylinders are defective
and leak down. In any event they should replace your cylinder with a
smile.
