Empty bottles filled around Manchester/Warrington

[F.J.]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of anyone who can fill empty bottles aound the Manchester/Warrington area? I am after Stainshield or Innomaxx for welding Stainless Steel but BOC and Air Liquide want too much £ for the amount of work i will be doing. I dont have the correct bottles to fill but hopefully this wont matter so long as the Helium content is higher than the Argon and C02.

Thanks

You don't get them 'refilled', you get them 'exchanged'.
Take your empty BOC or A/L one to a BOC or A/L supplier and they give you a nice full one in return for some of your hard-earned wonga.

Hi Wozaaah, the thing is ive 'stumbled' across these empty bottles, both are Helium bottles but i want filling with the tri mix of HE, Ar and C02. My mate said he can get empty bottles filled for a tenner but it would have to be the same bottle as the gas going in it. I suppose im being a bit optomistic and should pay for a full bottle (whilst getting my pants pulled down ) from BOC or A/L

The right gas in the right cylinders at all times, as an experienced welder you should know that.
