I'm looking to change the somewhat corroded Butane regulator used for my 4.5kg Calor cylinders. I've seen advertised 'Dual Fuel' regulators that claim to be suitable for Butane or Propane. Set at 30mBar that's a couple of millibar higher than the spec for Butane yet seven mBar lower than the spec for Propane. Strikes me it's just a Butane regulator and may not work very well with Propane, especially if you've got the oven and two rings on.

Every caravan and motorhome built in the past 10+ years has a 30 mbar bulkhead regulator. Mine accepts butane, propane and Autogas without visible difference at the stove or heating boiler.
