Oxygen tank, Acetylene tank, regulators for each tank, hoses, a torch, and a striker. Check valves are also a good idea if they're not already installed.

that is the key code for that particular type of lock or cylinder. So if you see that code on the cylinder lock that is the key for it.

Because it is also known as Dissolved Acetylene cylinder ...thus DA cylinder
A standard size Acetylene cylinder typically contains around 7 kg of Calcium Carbide, which is used to produce Acetylene gas through a chemical reaction. The amount of Calcium Carbide used can vary depending on the size and type of the cylinder.
"MC" on an acetylene regulator usually refers to the type of cylinder it is designed to be used with. In this case, "MC" stands for "medium duty cylinder," which is a smaller sized acetylene cylinder compared to larger industrial cylinders. The regulator is specifically designed to fit and work with MC-sized acetylene cylinders.
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.
Oxygen is stored at a much higher pressure than acetylene, which requires a larger cylinder to contain it safely. Additionally, oxygen is less dense than acetylene, resulting in the need for a larger volume to store the same amount of gas.
Oxygen cylinders are typically larger and heavier than acetylene cylinders due to the higher pressure at which oxygen is stored. Oxygen cylinders may also contain more volume of gas compared to acetylene cylinders.
A fusible plug is used on an acetylene cylinder to release the gas in a controlled manner if exposed to extreme heat, preventing the cylinder from exploding. This plug is designed to melt at a specific temperature, allowing the gas to escape safely.
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.
Acetylene cylinders contain acetone to stabilize the acetylene gas and prevent it from exploding. Acetylene is highly volatile and can decompose explosively under pressure; by dissolving it in acetone, the gas can be safely stored at higher pressures. The acetone acts as a solvent, allowing a larger volume of acetylene to be contained within the cylinder. This ensures safe handling and transportation while maintaining the effectiveness of the gas for various applications.
An oxygen regulator controls the flow of oxygen from a compressed gas cylinder to a torch or other equipment. An acetylene regulator performs the same function but is specifically designed to handle the characteristics of acetylene gas, which is highly flammable and requires a different pressure setting compared to oxygen.
The pressure of a full acetylene cylinder can vary depending on the size of the cylinder and the temperature. Acetylene is typically stored in cylinders at a pressure of around 250 psi (pounds per square inch) at room temperature. However, this pressure can increase as the temperature rises, so it is important to follow safety guidelines and regulations when handling acetylene cylinders.
