A friend asked me what he needed to covert from a acetylene to Lp gas cutting torch. I know he needs a type T hose for the torch and a LP cutting tip. He may need an adapter for the regulator to from acetylene to a Propane tank. I use a 40lb LP tank on mine that does not have the safety over-fill on it. My LP supplier says that if it had the safety valve on it, that the valve would not let enough vapor out to the torch. He told me that he was supposed to put a red tag on the tank saying it is for a cutting torch. So far he never put a tag on it. The friend asked me if he could just use a LP tank from his grille (20 LB ), I told him I didn't know. The welding outfit that I bought my torch from recommended the 40 lb tank. I had mine since 1993 and never had any problems.
