The gas supply place "American Gases" that I visited, transferred the
account to me, so I can exchange tanks freely without problems. They
did not even charge me any transfer fees. I convinced them that I am a
legit buyer. So I am no longer worried about title to the tanks,
etc. Their prices are very reasonable compared to another place
(Terrace supply).
The only minus was that the guy was 40 minutes late to open.
Today, I filled up a argon tank (second to me) and oxygen tank. As I
said earlier, there is at least some acetylene in the two acetylene
tanks (145 and 397 CF) so I will use it up before refilling. The
seller told me that the acet. tanks are full.
I bought a O/A welding and cutting tool kit on ebay made by Matco
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170273601455
so soon I will be able to try the tanks and see how much acetylene is
left.
SteveB, you are right and I will not use that hook.
Fran, delivery is $17 flat rate, so maybe I will use their delivery
but maybe I will not, so as not to freak out the neighbors.
I think that, all in all, the deal was good.
