Hi
Just wondered if anyone else had a similar encounter with their argon bottle..
I thought it was time to change the bottle as the guage had suddenly hit zero.. I was still getting plenty of gas though at the torch. I lifted the empty out of the cupboard only to realise it felt still quite heavy.. on opening the valve argon rushed out... I did all the obvious things like checking for gas leaks etc but no all fine, the reg is a parweld 9 months old, tapped the dial but no change there.. Purged it again but still no reading.. so I’m a bit uncertain as to if there’s much in the tank or not? I must admit the fact that the guage announced it as empty surprised me as I didn’t feel like I’d used that much..
Ideas??
Many thanks..
