Just been hunting around for a supplier because im so sick of forking out for the crappy disposable ones. i found this place which seems reasonable, not rental fees just a £40 deposit. he quoted me £100 including deposit, full bottle, delivery and collection.

I get raped by BOC. £50 ish a year for the account and £50 - £60 ish for the bottle. I'll be going later in the week so will have a better idea of the new prices. They've stopped opening at weekends too which just makes my life harder! On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Sounds quite expensive to me, for a 15l bottle and only 5 hours (ish) welding, but unless you want to open an account with BOC or Air Products and pay for the privilege its an alternative to disposables, I suppose. |

from when i last looked into this, Airproducts were more expensive for the bottle hire but cheaper for refills. BOC were the other way round.

Cheers Wolfie, ive just been looking over the BOC price list and for an X bottle which i think holds 2300 litres its 55.55 rental/year and 26.15 to fill. considering the X bottle has double the amount of gas compare to the link at the top the BOC is better value, even if you do need to pay rental 1972 998 TURBO SLEEPER |

Get hold of a cylinder and go to somewhere that can refill it for you.

If you want to use a lot, the BOC Y size cylinders are even more economical (note they are cylinders, not bottles  ....waits for Paul to respond....)
Twice the capacity but only about 30% more on rental and refill. Obviously there is a break-even point with useage when the higher rental outweighs the cheaper gas but I swapped both my argoshield and pure argon over to Y size during summer 09. Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

Longy, I have a bottle without rental (wink, wink) and get it refilled by a friendly relation in the motor trade.

Adams gas is only about 10 minutes away from me, so its easy for me to use them as i just collect and deliver myself so save on those charges.

The new problem I have with BOC, is that the majority of places local to me that supply welding gas have stopped opening on a Saterday. So I have to find one that stays open until 5pm (a lot close at 4.30) and race back from work either with the cylinder in the car for a 75mile round trip or call home and get to them a few minutes before closing. What happened to customer service...
