It's oxyacetylene I need for my gas axe.

I'll have to look at the oxy mapp you can get.

What about doing oxy propane instead? Is cheaper than acetylene.

Dunno. I have torches and hoses and empty bottles on bottle trolleys.
All the gear and no idea.

Hopefully that means there won't be as many thieving twats out there cutting them off parked cars.
How much have they fallen by?
