As far as I am aware. The gauges themselves are the same. Usually brass. Unless someone has painted them. The hoses on the other hand are red and green. The red being for the acetylene. A lot of times the tanks will be painted the same way although I have seen some acetylene tanks painted black.
Where should propane tanks be stored?

Why should acetylene tanks never be used while laying on there sides?
They are not hollow- they are filled with a spongy material that is saturated with liquid acetone. When the acetylene is pumped into the tank, it dissolves in the acetone, much like CO2 dissolving in a bottle of soda. If the tanks are laid on their sides, the acetone will be forced out into the hoses and torch. You will get a strange flame with a lot of excess carbon. Tanks that have been laid down should be stood up, and left in that position for at least an hour so that the acetone moves back towards the bottom of the spongy material.

When welding with a 3 tip what should the oxygen and acetylene be set at?
If you set your tanks to about 5 psi and 5psi, you should not have to change the pressure, instead simply adjust the knobs on the torch to give more of each gas. If this still is a problem, try 7-9 psi for each. NEVER NEVER NEVER go above 12 for acetylene, it is unstable at 15, best to not get close...
