Spider Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Can you use a propane regulator on a butane bottle? One is red (propane) the other blue (butane) and there are slight differences in pressure, blue 28 mbar and red 37 mbar.I have 2 x "la cube butane" gas bottles on the go at the same time and just happen to have a propane regulator going spare. Both blue & red are same size fixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 You may get a poorer flame or flaring from using the incorrect reg, probably flaring on your situation if anything at all. There are many universal regs around now which can do either gas and it's often the jet size at the other end which determines the burn. Not likely to do anything serious unless as you are using it you observe something amiss in which case you'll probably not continue to use it anyway.Not much chance in you joining the international space station!

Spider Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Well I didn't head off for the ISS, tested and it is working fine, little flare up as you suggested but all seems ok. Thanks for response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
