cobblers Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I don't know any friendly landlords - I've got a contact that'll fill me a bottle up, but he can't supply a bottle. Where should I look for one, and What should I expect to pay for one? I need one sooner rather than later otherwise I'd wait for Newark Autojumble which is probably my only idea! I've got a few bits of welding to do, a lot more than is reasonable to do with disposable bottles but I won't be doing it regularly so it would be madness to rent a bottle of argoshield like some kind of professional welder.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I bought mine off eBay, also I reckon a fire extinguisher shop might be able to help http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PUB-CO2-CYLIN ... 0697794749 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/co2-bottle-we ... 0864096216 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Co2-Gas-Bottle-/300793303812 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSparrow Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Doubt you will get one from a pub landlord. 99% of the time pubs rent them from companies like BOC, who probably won't sell you an old one on safety grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Ross Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I might actually have one of these somewhere.... about 4 ft tall, possibly brown/taupe 2 tone.... It fits sideways in the boot of a Mk3 Fiesta. I last saw it in 2005 I think. I will take a peek tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a lot like an ex bird of mine If you do find it I'll be happy to fetch some beer tokens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a big bottle from hobby weld for about £90 or so about two years ago. Still plenty left in it, and no ongoing costs (apart from refills, of course).

ashmicro Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 There's a big skinny black cylinder in my mate's garage, it's about 5 feet tall. Anyone know what it might be for? My mate died nearly 4 years ago, and his Mum's trying to clear out some of his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Ross Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 At a guess, oxygen, but an old style "unshouldered " bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimothyClaypole Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I bought a bottle from a place in Rotherham, just along from the Post Office up a side road, £50.00 - tested and stamped. Guy said about a fiver to get it refilled but I've yet to use it in anger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most places that refill em, also will test and re-stamp them for about £20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
