Just a Warning for anyone intending to follow suit:
Gas cylinders such as these may contain harmful, explosive or flammable nasties inside, if you are unsure of what it contained, make sure you find out before attempting any cutting welding etc.......
They should be inverted for gases heavier than air, righted for the lighter ones and watch out for the redback spiders when you flush them out !!!
EDIT: As noted below, some cylinders were made with an asbestos filler, in particular acetylene cylinders which are usually coloured maroon/brown stay away from those.
