One oPetrol torch may save as much as 1000 dollars every month on fuel alone!

Saving $1000 on Tip Cost
An acetylene tip can easily be clogged by molten steel. An operator can consume over 1000 dollars in a year on cutting tips.
oPetrol tips are very durable. Gasoline flame oxidizes the steel to 100% and leaves no molten steel. The tip is not clogged as a result. Besides, the atomizing of gasoline cools the tip down.
Saving 15%-75% on Labor Cost
The thicker the steel is, oPetrol cuts faster than acetylene. It can be 100% faster than an acetylene torch when the steel is thick. On top of it, there is no molten steel left to be clean after the cutting. labor saving is obvious.
