Gasoline torch

admin

I guess the idea hasn't caught on yet or if ever now that the price of gasoline is like it is. Also the initial purchase cost was pretty up there. I read some of the literature on them a while back and it sounded safe and efficient. I have never seen one in person or known anyone who has. Local gas supplier lowrated it, of course. One of the points was that it left very little dross since the flame was 97% oxidizing verses acetylene much lower number that I don't recall. Anyone have experience with one of these?SA200,Ranger8,Trailblazer251NT,MM250,Dayton225AC,T  D-XL75,SpoolMate3545SGA100C,HF-15-1  RFCS-14 When I stick it, it stays stuck!

Reply:I've heard of them, supposedly very efficient and easy to use but WICKED pricey to buy into.  Can't remember the name of them though, had it at one point because I went to their website.On edit:  I went looking              http://www.petrogen.com/Last edited by Alan N; 04-15-2008 at 07:18 PM.
Reply:I have heard of them too.  Never used one or seen one in person.  I read that they can cut through anything, including concrete and stone.  If that's true, these sound like a wicked tool to me!MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
Reply:I went and checked out their site and watched a video. The one I found was Chinese and I don't put a lot of stock in their claims on anything based on experience. My guess is it would be hard to get parts for. Think I will just stick with my O/A and plasme rigs.The difference between art and craft is the quality of the workmanship. I am an artist.
Reply:that petrogen setup seems pretty neat...  I'm gonna call them up tomorrow and see what their prices are like just for giggles. I expect to hang up laughing but hey maybe its not so bad.I like to party!
