Well i have finally given up on them stupid disposable gas bottles you get at machine mart for welding. They cost about £15 each and last about a day if your lucky due to the fact they leak like hell.
So today i have been to EnyGas and hired a 10kilo gas bottle, Now the hire charge is £46 per year, but a re-fill is only £22. You have to pay the hire charge in advance, but if you take it back after you have finished with it they only charge you for how long you had it. So if i have it 2 month and re fill it once it will have cost me about £53 or less then 4 of them disposables ones. Then i just call and collect a new one next time im welding again.
I really think this is the way forward as i have a fair bit of welding to do coming up.
