Can you get the 3' bottles, argo shield or plain CO2 ? The 5' bottles are great value but I dont have the space or the need for that much gas. Ive got the regulator for a 3' bottle too ?

I can only get the 5ft bottle and only in argon or co2/argon mix the beauty of them is that the bottles are rent free and no contracts or deposits so even if it takes the next 5 years to use a bottle its will still work out cheaper and at 45+my 5 pound running about fee for the co2/argon mix its a bargin what ever way you look at it

Hope thats of help

I use the pub gas c02 cylinders, you could get a good few chasis out of one 10l cylinder, no rental and only around £10-£15 depending on where you get them from. I have used it for over 10 years, welded trailers to full chassis for off roaders so give an good weld;)

I used CO2 ( pub style bottles ) to weld my chassis,
BUT
After recently getting a bottle from Vmax of Argon Mix & connecting it up to my Mig & having a play/practice welds, I wish I,d used the Argon Mix ,
I,m new to welding ( went to Night School to learn the basics to start my Roadster Build) & just seem to find it so much smoother ( not sure how to describe the difference) when using the Argon Mix, the weld pool seemed to flow so much easier, hardly any splatter at all, come to think of it none at all.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing eh :o :) ( It was suggested to me at the beginning of my build to use the Mig mix but I found it nigh on impossible to obtain without getting involved with a rental contract etc :( , so CO2 it was to be )

I now have a 5ft Bottle that will last me ages & ages :cool:
