TheRecklessEngineer Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 As the title really... I've got my mits on a 'Y' size BOC argoshield bottle. It's empty and I'd like to trade it for a full one. How can I go about doing this without questions being asked about my rental agreement? Reckless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 You cant get one filled without an account etc. The only way would be to find someone who has one on account and get them to get it filled on their account. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Or, go and set up an account, and rent the equivilant bottle. After a week or so, take your empty one back and cancel the contract, and keep the new one, without paying rent on it. Of course, that would be a naughty thing to do....

longlandy Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 And the bottle needs to have the red bar code tab otherwise it cannot be exchanged full stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 New system? I've an account with Energas, and there's no bottle ID system. (apart from checking it's an Energas bottle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 and whoever has the account... it has to be the same size botlle Apparently Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Depends how 'by the book' the chap at your BOC depot is. Could just pay for your gas like the rest of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 FWIW, there's now plenty of rent-free schemes available. I'm stopping my contract when the current cylinder is empty. The rent-free cylinders are smaller, but cheaper until I get to the level of using 80 litres (@200 bar) a year, which is unlikely to happen!

I am pretty sure they write down the number of the bottle to stop you doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the real muddy90 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I have a suplier near to me that will exchange full size argon light bottles for a full one for 20quid. No questions asked. I went there first time with no exchange so they 'didn't' sell me one for 25quid. & so I got a full bottle for 45 with no contract. Reckless... you must pass near them judging by your profile, pm me & I will pass on the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
