Sometimes experience is the best evidence.  Anyway, Clyde isn't a scientist 
or chemist .... Right Clyde?

I was going to get all involved in this discussion, but it doesn't seem to 
be worth it.  It's like the fairy tail about how you can't use an acet 
regulator for propane.  The gaskets and seals in fuel regulators were 
changed decades ago and the manufacturers use the same gaskets and seals in 
all of their fuel regulators.  But you can't dispell the myth in spite of 
the information received from the manufacturers.  So, it probably doesn't 
or won't matter what the AllStates people tell you or don't tell you, the 
pseudo-chemists will always claim it can't be.

So Clyde and Jerry will just have to live with the fact that they really 
don't know what they know, in spite of being the only ones in the 
discussion with actual experience with this torch.

It ain't worth my breath.
