Adams Gas - Regulator & amount of gas.

[Steven E]

I've just run out of Argoshield Light from BOC. Because I don't need to do as much welding in the future, I was considering switching to Adams Gas to avoid paying rent on the bottle.

I contacted Adams Gas to find out how much gas is in one of their bottles and they told me 9.4 litres. As it is compressed it is obviously more than that, but how much? I read on this site that an Adams Gas bottle contains 1288 litres, but I don't know if that is for a 9.4l bottle.

Also, can anyone tell me if the regulator I use on the BOC cylinder will fit an Adams Gas cylinder?

Thanks in advance.

1288L would be correct.

Assuming you have an X size the cylinder is almost the same & the pressure is lower but it would still work out cheaper than Boc.

Your regulator is also interchangeable.

Also if you return your Boc cylinder make sure you get proof of return & stop any bank transactions you may have set up. A few have been caught with ongoing charges after returning cylinders to major suppliers.

If you are close enough to collect from A/G, brilliant, if you pay the carriage it does make refills quite pricey. Hope this helps.

Thanks Gasman.
