Soutern gas are in Izone Dr in rolleston. They do rentals as well as ownership bottles.
If you keep your bottle long enough, it works out cheaper to own it.

I rent f size bottle argoshield $15 a month from southern gas bin town here we can only rent as they wont fill bottles
the f size is the middle bottle. for twice the price of fill you get five times the gas and rental is the same no matter what size the bottle is
Just dont leave the valve on when your finished doest take much to have an empty bottle when you go out to shed again

I know all about that. A mate left the valve open my near full F size bottle of Argon. I wasn't impressed, especially at over $200 for a fill.

if you only have a small welder/only welding panel steel you could just use a soda stream bottle. thats what im using $12 to buy the bottle and $12 to get it refill. can buy regulator and repco super cheap and any engineering supplier.

interested to hear how you get on, when I looked into it I was told co2 was not very good for welding panel steel. ok on the bigger stuff apparantly but you need a heated regulator too.
