I am in the middle of a project using a torch to archive a local heat for 
an upset on 1" bars.  Using oxy-acetylene  is getting pretty expensive (an 
acetylene  bottle lasts about 20 upset bars)  I was wondering about 
switching to oxy-propane.  Does anyone know what additional equipment would 
be required, besides a propane rosebud tip.  Is it OK to just move my 
existing acetylene regulator back and forth as the need changes?

Thanks
