There was a discussion a while ago here about lampworking in small premises
such as a boat in the UK.

I'd like to offer our recent experiences here. We live on a narrowboat, and
have Calor propane tanks aboard for use in our cooker. As MAPP is expensive
in the UK and not available in bulk it was rapidly becoming very costly to
make beads using the small tanks. We did a lot of research on the topic of
propane tanks and the necessary equipment to hook up a propane tank to the
Calor tank of propane and found a company that provides a complete set-up
that will take you from tank to torch without needing anything else. The
company is an Australian one called Ozziebuddy, and we found them very
helpful, careful to make sure the setup is a safe and complete one. They
shipped to us promptly and we're now able to use our 13kg tanks of propane
with the Hot Head torch with no trouble at all. It does take a bit of
getting used to as the propane burns differently to MAPP but a bit of
research online showed that putting the beads higher in the flame reduced
the problem of burning the glass or getting scummy glass or altered colours.

Ozziebuddy has a website at http://www.ozziebuddy.com They shipped us the
conversion set without the torch for a decent price, it ended up costing us
a total of USD 103 for a conversion kit, a marver we ordered that was USD
33, shipping and insurance. They were quick, helpful and knowledgeable.
