My Mig Welder gas bottle (10.2m3) from Air Liquide has run out and I was quoted $330 for a swap. Presently I hire this bottle for over $150 a year.
I was wondering what are better alternatives. Gumtree has a listing in Canningvale Western Australia for new disposable bottles has anyone tried these?
I do enough welding to require the largest bottle. Any information would be grateful.

In the workshop, connected to the welder it is on wheels. However when we have to swap it over at depot its heavy to lift in and out of the ute.
10.2m3
That is massive bottle. A slwb hiace sized bottle.
$150 is not bad, for the 4 foot bottle i was paying 17/mth from BOC +96 for a fill…Bunnings have gas now with a built in regulator, but thst is the smaller bottle…repco have disposables, very small…i think your on a good deal…
Rent free is definitely the way to go.
I was going to try these guys out next, to avoid the rental fees. I only need to refill like once a year, so the rental is a killer. Not sure if you send back your bottle, or exchange it for a refill.

That's the cheapest I have seen what a shame they are not in Perth.
That must be a prick to lug around.
