    blow your self to bits

    well i want to say this ! your a dumb F#$$%k!!! theres a reason ther called dive bottles they hold air not anything else save yourself some embaresment and dont bother asking at BOC
    Ask them for a gasless fluxed cored wire and that will solve all your problems
    if you pull it of make sure you have a video going

    to t bear............ can you please be less offensive?
    cant see a problem to use stainless or alloy bottle with argon ...... it is neutral gas .....means....it does not react with anything plus dive bottle holds a lot of pressure.......
    you guys should think outside of the box....
    reason why it may not work , it will need special fitting and boc approval which is by my opinion is much harder to get....
    i have seen builders using dive bottles to store compressed air for automatic sausage guns....

    Glukasil you retarded mother fucker, why dont you get the hell out of our country before you kill us all, and I dont think you should be making smart ass comments about t-bear when he went to the trouble of trying to help you remove your bolt, the only reason he couldnt get it out is cause you completely fucked it yourself you wanker.

    if you dont like the responses dont ask a question like this on a jetski forum

    use a gasless flux cored wire then you wont need gas at all

    i use a dive bottle as a mobile air compressor too

    industrial gases are stored at a way higher pressure in a cast steel tank and in some areas are 12mm thick my 10 cents worth won't comment again

    im a welder and been in the trade befor and as far as i no comeing from a friend that works at a gas filling place u can use 1 if its a steel bottle (not ali) and u need to change the vale on top.change the colour 2 suit the gas u are useing and get it tested.thats what i have herd.the bottle has to also be think enof for the gas u are useing as well.


    and come on guys its only a question and there are a lot of ppl that have asked this Q befor. :)


    or go look on trademe for a bottle or ring boc/supagas and see if they have any ex rentals 4 sale.i no supagas did early this year.

    from the top off my head when i get my dive tanks fulled its 2000psi they are fulld to so that is a fear bit of pressure.

    but in saying that i have dive tanks 4 diving and a welding bottle 4 welding.

    as 1 of the boys said u can always use fluxs core wire.but makes 4 a shit weld.
