Propane can reach critical mix very fast as it sinks in air. This is why caravans and boats have a hole in the bottom of gass lockers. Acetylene has a lot lower rate of mix with air but doesn't sink so its in some respects safer if the space is large..Amen to that. A good friend of mine borrowed a caravan to attend the California State Trap Shoot a few years ago. It had a faulty propane connection and the vehicle exploded. Ray was lucky to come out of it alive and suffered third degree burns; only thing that saved his face was his beard; took years, but he made a full recovery.
Both need respect because on letting go they both could vapourise a man or destroy the building he is in
