General Safety
Bullfinch appliances and equipment have all been especially designed for use with Liquefied Petroleum Gases (propane and butane) and will give long and reliable service to the user provided they are correctly operated and maintained. It is, however, essential that sensible safety precautions be followed with any appliances using butane and propane gases which are considerably heavier than air and highly inflammable; and because of these facts, we list here simple safety measures which should always be adopted when using the appliances. Failure to observe these could result in a serious accident.

Personnel Safety
Ensure that you know how to operate the equipment and never allow anyone other than a competent person to connect or disconnect appliances and regulators

Technical
Butane or propane? Both gases burn clearly and have a high calorific value, giving similar flame shapes and heat outputs, and in principle, appliances will burn equally well off either gas.
However, as gas is drawn off from the cylinder and liquid turns back into gas, the liquid cools down causing the rate of change from liquid to gas to slow down. This effect is particularly marked for butane which will not turn from liquid to a gas below 0oC, so that on cold days or when the gas is being withdrawn at a high rate, the liquid gets so cold that it delivers very low amounts of gas, or indeed no gas at all. Thus butane tends to be used for low pressure domestic appliances indoors, or outdoors in the summer only.
Propane continues to turn from liquid to gas at much low temperatures than butane and thus gives a high pressure of gas on the coldest of days. Although propane cylinders can be used indoors on a temporary basis, they should not be stored indoors because of the higher pressures in them.
