?Two torches on One Propane Tank?
What PSI should my regulator be set at to run two torches? Should it still be set to 5 PSI to run two torches or should I increase the pressure?
I am thinking about setting up a guest torch beside mine. I use propane from a 100 gallon outside tank. Oh, both torches are Bobcats.
I know this should be a simple question but I can't wrap my mind around it.
Thanks.

As Andrew said, you won't have to change the pressure but you might notice a flicker of your flame when one of the other of the torches turn on/off..

If you boost your pressure a little and change your line size to a larger inner diameter line (like 3/8" instead of 3/4") going to a manifold (where the lines split to go to indiviual torches), you won't have a problem with surging.
