The cost is up front when you buy that first bottle. There's a shop locally that gets regular shipments from one of the local gas companies (Airgas, I believe). I can swap out an empty 80 on a full one for $35.
Jim, do you have any commercial customers that would allow you to buy your supplies through them? I was able to buy my welder and first tank at a discount through our facility maintenance dept and it was all delivered to me at work. |
