Hoses seem not to care.

I recall that you ought not use one fuel with the other sort of hose, 
but I don't recall which.  Something about porosity and leaking.  Just 
make sure you ask before using, especially with acetylene - a fuel you 
so NOT want to play with unless you know what you are doing.  If it 
autoignites in the hose and makes its way to the tank, you are going to 
have a very, very bad day.  Always have arrestors on you lines; they may 
one day save your life.
