MAPP or propane?
Sorry for asking all these spoon feeding questions but ive never really used gasses for things like a spudgun. Is mapp or propane a better choice for a combustion? i was reading a chart and showed map gas to be a good bit more powerful, but why does everyone use propane if this is so?
Well MAPP gas cost a lot more (almost tripple cost of Propane) and you have to use more of it for good combustion...
With propane you use 4.2% fuel, 95.8% air and with MAPP you use 4.6% MAPP, 95.4% air...

I wish people would stop needing a better signature!

That and MAPP only gives a 10% power increase.
