I'm trying to spend less time looking for fault on-line, but I thought 8 CFH
sounded awfully hopeful.


Sometimes I use to run that low BUT... it had to do with what I was
welding. It was inside maybe a 3 inch ID tube that was about 3 inches
long standing upright. Needed to weld a pressed in plug to
the bottom. You really don't need much gas because there is nowhere for
it to go other than up and out of the piece. I think I still have some
of those parts around if you can't visualize this. When you weld say 50+
parts like this for an hour or two that is a lot of wasted gas if you
left it set at 20 CFH...
