I need help picking a tank.

admin

I found this.http://search.ebay.com/welding-cylin...em220077395630And I'm looking for an 80 cubic foot tank.I will be MIG welding with C02/Argon I think. (Or whatever the basic gas is).Would these tanks work?
Reply:most of them will work, just avoid the ones that are for oxygen, as they are not for mig but rather for, gas welding/ cutting.
Reply:This might not work for you, but maybe it will for others. I picked up a tank at my local scrapyard. It was an oXygen cylinder, and still had a good test date.  Cost 0... Since they can't cut em up and can't get put them in with the metal to china.  I took that to my local welding store. They swapped it out for an argon tank.  But I could have swapped it out for an oxygen tank,  co2& argon, etc.  All I had to do was pay for the contents. I do have a good relationship with that welding store since I've been buying gasses & supplies there for many years.Over the years, I've also swapped out other Oxygen tanks(given to me) for bigger or smaller ones, they only seem to care about having a tank(ANY tank) in their swap out inventory.
