Gas bottle shortage?

[stormin]

Haven't been on here in a while as my life is a lot less workshop orientated these days.

I was just wondering if with the current virus outbreak whether there is a shortage of gas bottles?
I have a few between part full and empty oxygen bottles and argoshield bottles rarely used.

If they're better given back in to help the health services fight and save patients. They're mostly the hobby sized bottles about 3 foot tall, so don't know if they're of any use.

Anyone heard anything about gas bottle shortages?

Don't worry, medical oxygen cylinders are different to our welding bottles so not interchangeable.

I don’t think Argoshield is much use to the NHS either.

It will possibly kill off covid 19 which is good but likely to suffocate the patient

They can have mine if they give me the rent back on the cylinder

We all have to make sacrifices.

I spoke to an LPG supplier and they are not concerned, they have a constant demand from farms and people who live in caravans and keep an over supply ready for winter
