Where can I get a pub gas bottle?

[cobblers]

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.

I bought mine off eBay, also I reckon a fire extinguisher shop might be able to help

Have you had a look round the back doors of some pubs?.....

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.

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.

Sounds a lot like an ex bird of mine

 

If you do find it I'll be happy to fetch some beer tokens!

Check that isn't maroon, otherwise it'll be no use because it might have acetylene in it.

 

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).

Make sure any you get hold of is currently in test (date on plastic disc under tap) or you won't be able to get it filled.

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.

At a guess, oxygen, but an old style "unshouldered " bottle.

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.

Cheers, it is pretty old, and has a tapered top.

Most places that refill em, also will test and re-stamp them for about £20.
