Bottles are barcoded now so beware

I know they're barcoded but like everything there's a way around it.

Do you know anyone with the same sized bottle on a boc account?

As always there is a way.

That's how I used to do it along with several other folk, then they started putting bar codes on, but they put them on the plastic collar, so swap the collar and jobs a good un, now they are checking numbers on bottles, mate that has swapped loads for years now says he cant beat the system, and he is the sort of person to thrive on a challenge like this. they say its to keep on top of the insurance checks on the bottles??

Never known them check bottle numbers,must be area specific.

That's what he's been saying for the last 6 months or so, he's keen as its a few pound notes for him so I can't see it being wrong, recons he should be able to cross fill out of his cylinder , but not keen on that for obvious reasons, cheers

Think my BOC rental is about £45 a year on a Y size bottle, and about the same again for a refill. That’s on the Volkszone deal, apparently you can get Oxygen on the volkzone deal too !.

Yeah there was 2 guys locally badly injured doing that.

I use a local pub has supplier, I drive past them a few days a week.
Small Co2 bottles, £25 deposit, £15+ vat refill
Pure Co2 but I'm usually welding heavier stuff so it doesn't worry me.
I always have a full bottle in stock.

BOC are higher pressure, thus more gas in their cylinders than some if the others.
Pays to check.

https://coal4you.co.uk/local-deliveries-coal-merchants/bottled-gas/ A E Prentice have just started doing no rent welding gas, not asked them about it yet but might be an alternative? i'm hardly using any gas these days so i not sure its worth my while renting BOC any more?

 

[David.]

Prentice worth an ask though.
