I just took my BOC bottles back and switched to rent free ALBEE.  Its the french AirLiquide but hey-ho...

http://www.albeegascylinders.com/

Its about £20 more per fill but the bottles certainly look a lot bigger.  I use so little I didn't keep going with the research to see how many KGs empty vs full or what pressure each is loaded to or anything like.  I just wanted to be able to go in the garage without the bottles shouting at me "money each year for what eh?"

Deposit £100/bottle against £130/year for the BOC pair so it pays back in under two years.  HobbyWeld is the other company out there but more expensive for acetylene.

I felt a lot better being told it was only April last year acetylene became available rent free, not sure if that is true or not but made me feel a lot better about my wodge of BOC bills.

Other options are Oxy Propane - BOC stock a Harris kit.  Also discussed on the Austin 7 forum (the trigger to my change) is a Rothenberger kit.  I saw one in the BOC shop and the cylinders are tiny, household aerosol sizes.

I thought acettylene lighting was superceded by newfangled electricity with the Theta a hundred years ago!  Or have you decided to turn you special into a replica Alpha?
