Acetone is usually added to cylinders of acetylene to stabilize it.

Acetylene is different from most gasses in a tank. An acetylene tank is not hollow- it contains a porous material (think of a hard sponge) that is saturated with liquid acetone. When acetylene is pumped into the tank under pressure, it dissolves in the liquid. This is similar to how carbon dioxide dissolves in a soda (in a bottle or an) under pressure. While in the tank, it is mainly in a liquid.
Acetylene is a covalent compound
Acetylene is C2H2 so its emperical formula is C1H1.
Acetylene -C2H2
Acetone is usually added to cylinders of acetylene to stabilize it.
If there is pressure in the tank it may be possible to use it. If not I wouldn't recommend it. In the tank there are blocks of material and Acetone. These absorb the Acetylene allowing it to be charged to 300 PSI. If the Acetone (it is in liquid form) has leaked out the Acetylene could explode if the cylinder is recharged. Acetylene pressure is RED LINED at 35PSI.
That would be acetone.
Acetylene gas is usually dissolved in acetone, as in this condition it occupies a much smaller volume. [But your acetylene cylinders should be kept vertical.] And acetylene under quite modest pressure is very explosive just by itself.
Because the acetylene is stored dissolved in acetone. You don't want to get any liquid acetone up into the valve area where it can get into the regulator, as it can damage the regulator. If the tank does go on its side, be sure to set it upright and let it be for awhile before putting it in use.
1 ltr of acetone = 800 gms

Acetone is a chemical compound and not just a single substance. It is colorless, has a distictive smell and is flammable.
Examples (gases dissolved in liquids): oxygen in water or blood, carbon dioxide in water, acetylene in acetone, etc.
Acetylene can not be stored inside a cylinder on its own as its properties will not let it be compressed above 103.5 kPa. To solve this problem the cylinder is filled with an absorbent material such as charcoal (asbestos in olden times) and acetone is added. The absorbant material absorbes the acetone and this acetone/solvent stabilizes the gas. I can not explain why but because of this the bottles draw off rate is restricted. LPG can be compressed on its own and because of this even as some of the gas is used enough pressure can be drawn for heating unlike acetylene. Hope this helps
