Moving gas tank safely


Reminder when moving the gas tanks, the yellow safety cap should always be removed and then a metal cap should be screwed on before being transported. If you have not been shown how to correctly move them or don’t have experience yourself please leave it for someone that does/ have someone help show you. Many horror stories of these bottles turning into rockets when handling them incorrectly…:boom:

I’ll piggy-back a related note here: please put one C25 and one argon tank on each welding cart. Someone had put two C25 tanks on one of the carts yesterday. I’m sure their welding did not go well. Fortunately, the next user realized this and swapped them out appropriately; many thanks to @aanne3 for doing that.

Note that you have to read the tank labels to know what’s in it. As tanks are swapped from our supplier, different height tanks will contain different gasses.
