One of you is misunderstanding the other.  You're talking about introducing
50-200 psi into a system designed for about 0.4 psi.  The fridge won't run,
the stove burners will be trying to pass half a million BTU's per hour
instead of 5,000, and I suspect that the second-stage regulator diaphragm
might burst.
