I have seen them at the wrecking yard people leave them in vehicles and at the scrap yard phone around and ask them they don’t want them the scrap yard will just cut them up.Quote:

Funny, we see aluminum food server trucks all the time there (sons look at them for scrap or projects).
Never saw tanks on a utility truck, but I will be looking now. I would imagine rentals if I did see one and even my local scrap yard will not take any tank that is not cut in half. So in the US, that will be a tough one.

I just called these guys- they have a $500 minimum for orders that ship... and shipping is via common carrier, not UPS for instance. I spoke to a very helpful guy, Dennis, who explained the ins and outs and whys (or why nots) of shipping and one-off purchases. (The price for an 80cf bottle with cga580 is now $105, btw.) They'll waive the minimum if you show up at his loading dock, though, so it may be a good source for the guys that are close by.Quote:

Airgas here will fill a 150cf with 75/25 but they only fill it to hold that of the 125 so it didnt make any difference for me to get the 150 over 125. These are to own the bottle.Quote:

Just a little update:
As you guys know, I own a I-MIG 200, a PowerTIG200DX, and a Power Plasma 60.
Out of the 3, I have used the TIG welder the most. I can't really give explanation on how to use it. Other than I use the foot pedal and go by feel, not by amps.
The MIG welder works really awesome.
And the plasma, I've only used once. However, I had problems starting it up. So I called support, and they helped me. I had the wrong air fitting and it wasn't getting air to the machine. But the machine worked flawlessly after that.
I really love the Everlast equipment. Glad I made the purchases.
