Yes it is right, the Mileage I get from a 20 lb propane cylinder is 8 large oxygen to one propane.



I' paying $77.00 for each large bottle of oxygen I purchase, I only have the oxygen on the truck to cut off cats otherwise - most of my cutting is done with the plasma.

Olddude,

You said that you used to get way better mileage out of your bottles, and that you replaced a leaky oxygen line, did you replace the propane one too?

Are you going through alot of tips? Did you accidentally replace your cutting tip with one made for oxy/ace?
