How long does a cylinder tank of LPG last?
How long a single tank of LPG lasts is dependent on what type of equipment you are using it to power and how often that equipment is used. If, for example, you use it to power a medium-sized BBQ grill, you can expect around 18-20 hours of grilling from a 9 KG gas cylinder.

LPG gas in Australia and New Zealand is primarily propane, but may also contain a mixture of butane, isobutane and ethane.
-
Can LPG be used for gas cutting?
In common with acetylene, LPG can be used for gas cutting but it’s important to note that with liquified petroleum gas, it is the outer cone of the flame that is the hottest. This is in contrast to an acetylene flame, in which the majority of the heat is located in the inner cone. With this in mind, you should hold an LPG flame further away from the metal surface.
-
How to check LPG gas bottle level?
You can either weigh your bottle (and subtract the dry weight) or pour water down the outside and feel where it gets cold after a few seconds. This will indicate the current gas level.
