How much is a 240cf inert gas tank worth

What convenience is there with a leased cylinder over an owned cylinder? With an owned cylinder you get the convenience of exchanging for a full one and not dealing with hydrotesting, but you don't have a lease payment. |

I have a leased tank, that I will return back (to get my deposit back) as soon as I run out of argon, and will use owner tanks only, taking them to my praxair. Praxair takes almost tanks. i |

It depends on the dealer and the size of the tanks. The dealers around here will only exchange specific sizes of small owner tanks. If your tank is not one of those sizes, they'll take it, ship it off for refill, and return it to you. When you figure in the savings on gas in large bottles, owned tanks don't make much sense unless you get them very cheaply, at least around here. Oh, and no deposit on leased tanks as long as you have an account, just the lease charge. And if you have a lease on one bottle, some dealers will let you have extras on a month-by-month basis if you have a short term need. -- Ned Simmons |

And Praxair charged me Hasmat for my O2 tank I had leased -
then when I filled it - taxed me again. Double hasmat charge in 1 month. Refused to refund either.
