What Did You Buy Today?

I bought 120 cu ft acetylene + 80 cu ft 100% Argon.

The acetylene was $99 out the door (i.e. $85.24 + tax + haz mat fee).

The Argon was $59 out the door (i.e. $49.06 + tax + haz mat fee).

I needed to borrow my friend’s open bed pickup (I drive a minivan), & I gave him $20.

100% Argon 59.00!!! Wow! I need a tank with 100% Argon for my TIG welder if I ever going to try using it...

Just to be clear, you had the tank and that was just the fill up? Right? No way that is tank and gas...

Yes, I own my cylinders outright.

interesting, I keep hearing how many places won't fill your own tanks. Was this a big chain welding gas company?

This was Matheson Tri-Gas in my hometown of Santa Rosa, CA.

I purchased 5 gas cylinders from Matheson. I purchased 2 gas cylinders from Praxair in my hometown.

Matheson is very nice about refilling the gas cylinders that I bought from Praxair. The first time you go back with the Praxair tanks, they just peel off the Praxair sticker.

I stopped going to Praxair because they were they were out of Argon about a third of the time.
 
I too own my tanks, but the welding suppliers in my area swap the tanks. They handle all testing and it's worked well for several years now.
