I got a call from my Airgas distributor on Monday telling me that due to a plant explosion in Kentucky , there will be an extreme shortage of acetlyne gas .
Google " calcium carbide plant explosion "
I was told to stop selling all leases on gas , and expect to get shorted on every shipment .
They told me that acet will skyrocket in price and may not be available at any price .
Also that I should start pushing propylyne , and to stock up on replacement tips .
This comes just as the farmers are starting to do spring maintenence .
I can see lots of pissed off customers on the horizon .
So guard those tanks and remember to shut them down at the end of the day .
