want to go BIG bottle

[andy pen]

Got the hang of my new clarke 151TE and love it BUT I'm going through the silly disposable bottles at an alarming rate.So I want to go up to a bigger bottle.
What I need to know is can I get a set up to convert from proper big bottles down to the weedy gas pipe for the disposables or will i have to run a bigger pipe into the machines valve inside?
I'm sure people must have done this before so any suggestions would be great and an idea of price.Also any ideas on gas suppliers in south east cornwall/southwest devon(plymouth)who do a no rent supply if any.
Thanks in adavance I hope!!!

PM weldequip, he has a regulator/hose/adpater he has posted a pic of many times.

Be sure to tell him if youa re using CO2 or an Argon mix ad the fittings are different.

andy I would reccomend using argon/Co2 mix, I forget how much cheaoer it is than using the tiny cans but there are lots of '0's in it. You are making the right choice.
Top tip No umpteen, make a trolley to carry the bottle and the welder, they are heavy.
