Calling All Welders, Owning An Argon Bottle Outright

[Trough Lolly]

Hey lads,

Does anyone here know where you can purchase Argon Bottles from Outright, that can be refilled at any BOC / Air Liquide agent?

Im chasing a Size D bottle.

Theres a mob on ebay selling smaller bottles that you then freight back to them in sydney for a refill, but I was hoping to get a larger bottle like a D.

Just throwing it out there, know theres a few welders floating on here!

Cheers.

last I knew there was no chance mate.

BOC and air liquide are of the thoughts that.. you hire the bottle from them and in return, when you get a bottle, you and they can rest assured that the bottle is safe to hold pressure and is painted in the latest aqua shade...

they've got it sewn up quite well I think.

If there is a Supagas depot in your area give them ago. I work for them and all though you still pay rental the fill price is a heck of a lot cheaper than the big companies boc/air liquide.

If you definitely want to own your own bottle you can purchase them off boc last time I checked. Altho you get reamed up the anus when you need it filled.

yeah im currently in contact with speedgas trying to see what the go is with purchasing.

I can easily buy a bottle, but taking it somewhere locally to refill with argon seems to be the hard part.... its bullsh*t why cant it just be like a LPG bottle, aslong as its stamped and safety checked, who give a rats ass!

its the rental id like to avoid... a larger fill fee wouldnt bother me but im not going to pay $180 a year (BOC) just to let the bottle collect dust between use.

And I accidently left the gas on my Argon G size the other week and no more gas. I hate that.

Keep us updated as last time I check couldn't do anything in WA.
