Another question:
When I purchased my new fuel at the welding shop , he told me I could use it for the new torch as well. So I got rid of my propane tank which was only two months old, STUPID.
As now I have been told that you do not use that type of fuel (similar to Mapp) with a dual torch. That I have to use propane. Is this true?
I was trying to do the right thing and not have propane tanks hanging around the house.

The combination of propane and oxygen generates enough heat in a fuel/oxygen torch that you so not need the extra heat+ cost of a more exotic fuel (propylene) ... The use of propylene is pretty much reserved for use on a hothead torch since it is a fuel/air torch and does not generate as much heat as a fuel oxygen torch.....
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....
