The SGS site doesn't give prices "contact agent" minefield, so some prices from users would be interesting. There is an agent within 3 miles of me though. They sell propylene - is that hotter than propane? might help Dave above.

There's a reasonable precis at The Welder's Warehouse on that one.

Thanks for the additional information. I read somewhere that oxy-propane isn't great for brazing, but can't remember where. Superficially one would have thought it would be fine, as the temperature is much lower than needed for welding.

Much to my surprise the Air Liquide lorry turned up at lunchtime with my refill bottles. Unfortunately I was so surprised I injured myself falling off the chair! Naturally the delivery was a foul up. One, the delivery price was not what I thought I was paying and two, he seemed surprised that there were two bottles to collect. He was pleasant though. Said he'd delivered to me before. Quite possible as when I bought my DC/AC TIG welder I had the argon bottle delivered, as it is too large and heavy for me to lift. But that must have been 10 years ago. He also said I'd be better off with Albee bottles as I'd own them and there's no delivery charge. I mentioned the regulations and the fact that I'm a hobbyist and he agreed I am exempt, but said it was company policy not to allow pickup. He related a story of someone turning up at the shop with a trailer full of propane and acetylene bottles all rolling around in the bottom of the trailer. It's idiots like that causing the blanket ban on collection.
