Rustyrangie Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hi Muddy, I'm using BOC Argoshield universal, bottle size X (half size? it's about 3 feet high and 6 ins. dia. if that helps) Fill is £40.30, annual rental £51.76. If you get one check the tap for leaks, mine's just leaked away with the tap shut tight! Going to BOC tomorrow for a replacement/argument/fight. Bob.

white90 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Bob Make sure you complain to BOC accounts 0800111333 IIRC I did and I got the replacement cylinder for free size y has twice the volume of X and costs £68 for 12months rental inc vat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I've got an X at the moment but will probably upgrade to a Y when it runs out. Can't remember the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro_Al Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I started with Y bottles, but now I have the hugenormous ones (one argon for tig, one argoshield for mig). . IMHO for the difference in cost, there is no comparison. Its only a little more cash, but you get a LOT more gas. The only issue would be moving the damn things - they are heavy and big. But if I can manage... Cheers, Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The storeman later told me that they'd had a lot of problems with the tap/knob type cylinders leaking. Apparently they can leak round the packing when the cylinder is on. He sorted me out a square spindle tap type cylinder and threw in a spindle key too! Don't have room for a bigger cylinder in my garage...maybe I should move house!

That must come in handy for all the stuff you're busy not building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
