Ok $15 a month for e size bottle and 80 to fill it. Might wait til warmer months for it, so I can continue with rust repairs. Means I can hunt around for panel steel offcuts too

For your sheet metal, go and see Peter Smits Sheetmetal in Pascoe Vale (28-30 Fawkner Road Pascoe Vale). I've bought a few bits and pieces off him and he's pretty reasonable. He can fold stuff up for you too if needed.

I Love you shoota, all these Places are close to home. Can't wait to show my appreciation

Share the love I say, share the love.

How deep is your love

I have an account at SupaGas (for my home Gas LPG Bottle). I pay an account monthly, it's about $17 per month for a E size (4300m3) and $79 to fill. I went thru the 1500m3 'D' size too quickly.

The trick is that I only pay for the months that actually have the cylinder

i thought d size was bigger than e size?

i remembered it gas bottle opposite to bra sizes

Have to agree with demacoz,my gas account is with BOC but i changed from a yearly account to a monthly account for two reasons,1 easy to budget monthly and 2 i can return bottle when empty/not in use and not get screwed.The monthly fee is $14.04 being E size
I have found it more benificial doing this also as time tends to get away and you can have bottles sitting around that get forgotten about when not much is going on in the build department.
As for gasless welding,i'm yet to see one i would pass as a motor sport scrutineer....but i live in hope

its amazing boc and stargas have different prices depending where your based. stargas deliver to your door though lol.

think i might boc it- they seem a bit more professional dealing with them.

cant you just buy a gas bottle & avoid the rental fee's? Thats what I did, I've got a pony bottle (50cf?? I think)like a small scuba tank size & every once in a while I have to go & swap it for a full tank. In the long run its probably much cheaper then renting a tank.

Even a big piece of plywood or cardboard blocking the wind from your weld area will do the trick.
