@freddytk421 Yeah, I had the serial numbers and filed a Police Report! I probably won’t replace it, I’ve got a Predator 275 also! The Bottles were rented so I have to buy some to give back to Praxair!
@LoneStarCreekRanch …
@LoneStarCreekRanch that’s terrible. did you have the serial number of the machine and stuff like that. If you decide to get a new generator let me know I was thinking of getting rid of mine because I only turn it on to keep the cobwebs from collecting it’s only got like 30 hours on it. trailblazer 302

Good job right there! I just had my Miller Bobcat 250 Trailer rig stolen. I lost the trailer, the welder, 300′ of lead, a gang box full of tools and supplies, and a 250 Oxygen Bottle and an 80 Acetylene Bottle were also on board!! Theivin….you know whats!! Anyway, I need to buy some new Bottles, so thanks for the tip for sure!!!

@iamaGod357 If a flow regulator is just the regulator that goes on top of these tanks then I already made a video about those. look at my videos it’s called regulator basics or oxy fuel regulator basics.

can u make a vid about flow regulators and how to use them?

@tommmmmmmmx What else should I add? I really don’t know. I could put some annotations on it if you tell me.

great vid freddy but there is more to this

i can see why you only go there, it is cool he took time to answer all your questions. that is the kind of business that will get me coming back again and again.
@freddytk421 no, …
@freddytk421 no, actually if you put it in the title i tend to not watch as you put it there for a reason lol its a good warning. from what i’ve been told the lower pressure bottles were used as old fire extinguishers, and have been converted cheaply. they’re obviously not rated for the higher pressures – so a shade tree shop might get away with sellin them to someone not knowing and they’ll have to keep comin back for more gas sooner than if they bought a bottle rated say at 2400 psi.
@Munky332 Wow I …
@Munky332 Wow I never heard of the low pressure tanks. I will look into those and warn people with a vid once I figure that whole deal out. What gas are they for? are they for welding or paintball? on another note. does it make you mad when I upload videos other than welding related ones even though I put “not worth watching” in the title? I was thinking of making an alternate account for that stuff but was wondering if it was worth the trouble.
i got 2x 40’s for …
filled. i love craigslist.
i got 2x 40’s for 50$
good video, very informative. one thing i’d like to mension though, is that some bottles being sold are low pressure. i wouldnt buy a bottle thats rated for 1800 psi for example(ebay has some that are dirt cheap, but not worth it). most of the ones i see are 2015 or higher. and even 2015 is low apparently.
@steveo928 I might …
@steveo928 I might have some. I for sure have some 5/64 if you want some. I’ll send you some in the mail, my treat. just send me your address in a PM, I’ll hook you up bud.
@jstrunck I never …
@jstrunck I never heard the stories, I just asked them one day about their tanks and they said they only took so and so’s tanks and didn’t take any others. I thought that was weird so I disliked them ever since. what’s the scoop?
@freddytk421 hahaha …
@freddytk421 hahaha ok, i have to put some up soon too, and hey do you have any 1/16 stick electrodes? i need some for a smaller stick welder im building (wait for the vid) and I only have 3/32 and those arent working because they are too big. If you send me some 1/16 ill give you the 3/32!! They are lincoln electric and i only used like 4 max can you help me out?
Yep…. I have …
Yep…. I have heard bad stories about Gas Pony (Tractor Supply) bottle exchange program. Alot of people have posted stories about thier experience with Gas Pony on Hobart’s Weld Talk forums and also Weldingweb. Somehow, Gas Pony was sued for some misdoings.
@DustenDee Thanks …
@DustenDee Thanks dude.
@steveo928 Not you …
@steveo928 Not you too! don’t you like my “test” videos I thought you were a loyal sub. LOL I get so much when I don’t stick with welding, it’s like people are paying me or something. Don’t make me block you like I did to all the other whiners. LOL just kidding.
@iamaGod357 I don’t …
@iamaGod357 I don’t know I guess it depends on what kind of gas and if it’s empty or not. They are very manageable I would guess 50lbs or so, I can lift them up no problem when they are full.
@iamaGod357 Because …
@iamaGod357 Because it’s a rental tank and the property of the supplier. thats only for the big ones.
@iamaGod357 because …
@iamaGod357 because you want to be able to refill any where if it has a name on it from another welding supply they probably wont fill it.
also how much does …
also how much does a 80 cubic foot tank weigh ?
