Rob, by far the easiest way is to get a much smaller tank than 1000 gal. I use 5# tanks of propane on my portable rig, (known as turbo tanks), and every thing from 20# to 100# tanks around the shop. If you have the ace. regulator with the male left hand thread, it will screw right into most propane tanks. If not, you need an adapter. The hose MOST DEFINITELY must be changed to type t oxy-fuel cutting hose. The torch is modified only by replacing the tip, with a propane tip. I highly recomend using two peice tips, as Jay said they are far easier to clean. Like the others who replied, I keep an ace. set for other uses, but do heavy heating and cutting with propane only. You can hook up the 1000 gal tank, but it is a job for a gasfitter. John Christiansen
