Posted by SteveB on March 7, 2008, 11:57 am Please log in for more thread options I know that acetylene should not be put through a hose at too high a pressure. My regulators have a red zone starting at 15 psi. Is there a similar situation with propane?

Propane does not react without oxygen like acetylene can at higher pressures. There is no limit to the pressure with propane.

As it is used, the liquid level drops, and the top of the tank is filled with propane gas at tank pressure.
