Welding gas

I ran out of gas last night and need to refill. I know Airgas is in Salt lake and Humphries is down in American Fork. Is there anywhere in the middle closer to me? I'm in Riverton/Herriman.

What is your tank labeled with? most won't do another company's tank. If your tank says "Airgas" you have to take it to them, if it says "Praxair" you have to take it to them etc.

I just got more C25 this week from airgas. Tax and everything I was $152.00

Mine doesn't say anything on it. I bought it new. Just trying to find out if there are any shops closer to me.

they most likly will do an exhange for your bottle, then you will be stuck with that provider, I dont know if they will fill your personal bottle...

Sounds like Humphries it is then.

I figured they would exchange I just wanted to see what my options were before I was married to one or the other.

Yep, once you exchange it, they label it as their own, and you are stuck with them........it's a bit irritating

humphries will fill your personal bottle.

You will have to wait a few days.

^^ I would rather just be stuck with one provider, who will swap it out in 2 minutes. than someone who will fill my tank....but will make me wait at least a day

I can understand that. I have a backup tank for that reason. Then it doesn't matter if I wait. I can still weld

I considered a backup tank, but the fact that airgas will swap it so quickly, I couldn't justify the expense. plus my tank is the big one, and it usually lasts me a few months in my garage

good call. I dint buy another tank. I just use my CO2 tank as a backup. I already had it and the adapter for the regulator was like 17 bucks. Worth it to me. Not everyone though. It seems to me like the gas always runs out on me on a holiday or something when the shop is closed.
