    OH. I thought you were talking about gas for your car. I got a 40 CF tank and it was about $130. Refills $60. I set the gas flow at 20CFH so the tank should last about 2 hours of arc time.

    Ok thanks. And you did get Argon/CO2 mix? My welder came with a gas gauge, but Ill need to see how it works. And I was redoing my cart. Ughhh, no so many little projects pop up before the bigger projects come. :bananadead:

    Roberts Oxygen hours dont line up with mine, so Im going tomorrow, since I took it off to baby the truck for V day.

    Yeah 75/25 mix. With the gas gauge, you wanna open the tank. Then adjust the other knob to where it says 20CFH *while you're pulling the trigger on the gun*. The needle will rest at ~24 CFH but once I pull the trigger to start welding it drops to 20, which is what you want.

    And make sure you close the tank if you're not gonna be welding for more than a few minutes. Just a good habit so you don't accidentally leave it open and the gas leaks out.

    Sounds kinda complicated but it's really not.
