But the reason why I ask is this. My propane is gone now and I have a new tank with the Flamal I purchased. I am told this is similiar to Mapp gas.

It would be great if I did not have to purchase another propane tank.

For almost all lamp work torches propane or natural gas generated enough heat for almost any glass work...

Also the propylene tank has the same dangers as a propane tank.... IF using propylene, the tank should be outside....
