    I had a discussion with a sales rep. at a local bulk gas supplier
    regarding this. He informed me that the rubber diaphragms used in
    these regulators are made of different grades. The diaphragm in an
    acetylene regulator could fail prematurely when used with propane,
    as propane gas attacks this rubber more aggressively. Check this out
    with some of the regulator manufacturers.
