CO2
Having obtained an old brewery co2 container with the welding set earlier in the year. I have finally come to the point where I needed more. Tried the
usal route of BOC and AP (only fill our own bottles sir) and the fire extingiusher companies ( yes sir £15 for the fill £30 for the bottle to be
pressure tested and a £15 handling charge) ebay (£50 for a new bottle filled but I needed to drive 100 miles to pick it up) when I discovered that the
calor gas distributor locally supplies for £15 +vat. Arriving with old bottle I was told you can keep that sir we don't want it. Thus the price
includes a new 5.5kg bottle, pressure tested painted in the new colours (oh yes I did not mention that the fire extinguisher company stated that my
black bottle would be obsolete in 2 years ) and whats more available at the drop of the hat from their depot that opens at 07.00.
Now thats what I call a result

Didn't happen to notice if they supplied argon by any chance?

I did enquire but while they do it you need to have an account with air products

much the same deal as I get from my local supplier, Nuneaton Welding Supplies. They just wanted my address and a signature to say I will return the
bottle sometime in the future.
Good to know though, as there are plenty of calor dealers around!!
useful tip!
