Perhaps someone should put it in a vacuum chamber and try to light it, then we will know if it is an oxidizer or not.

That's what I was getting at...

the way this tank is insrted into the botom of the torch it can not be griped by it's sides, the thing on the bottom is for installing and removing the tank from the quickfire torch, also the threds on the tank only exist on two sides with the other being flattened, think a circle with two oposite sides ground down, this is to allow 1/4 turn intalation and removal in the quickfire torch
