Is a BOC brand, all you have to do to have it re-filled is to hire another same size cylinder from BOC, and take your empty back later that day and they cannot charge you for a full years rent, so all you pay for is just a re-fill.

Hi Richo,
Can you do daily hire with BOC?

Hi Ross,
I donot know, what the local BOC bloke told me to do, to have it re-filled is to hire another same size cylinder from BOC, and take your empty back later that day and they cannot charge you for a full years rent, so all you pay for is just a re-fill.
It was over 2 years ago when I last done a swap over with the advertised cylinder, and as you can see I have not used it it is still full, I also use Fire Extinguishers for Kegs, so this 10kg Cylinder has been a spare, BOC have to send you out a invoice for payement, you don't pay for the rent straight away, and I think it was $32 for the re-fill + $2 of some micellanous charge which was probably in lue of the rent.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Because, I Donot Pay a yearly Rent, unlike others.
I think you will find that there are other brewers out there who own their own cylinders, I am not the only one, If you are not interested don't reply.
The one bad thing about this site is the critisim that is recieved.
All I am trying to do is sell the Co2 Cylinder, I have no need for it, as i have scalled right down in Brewing and is surpless to my needs, other also do the same thing from time to time.
And I know I Can't spell.

That's right Newguy. The gas companies here don't appear to be in business to supply gas, but rather to rent cylinders.

Yep KGB that's exactly how it goes.
I had a bottle & couldn't get it filled or find someone with an account so as to use theirs. I started a rental with the company will swap my bottle and cancel before I have to renew. One 10kg bottle will last me for quite a few years , all up I estimate the cost would be around $40 per year.

P.S. If someone has an Air Liquide 10Kg bottle , I now have an account
BOC have wised up a lot since the old days, cylinders now have barcodes and are scanned as they go out and come back in. It's not so easy to throw the old odd one back in the mix as it used to be. Not sure about AL, I would suggest maybe going through an agent rather than the main company if you are going to try that trick.The buyer would need to find a sympathetic fire extinguisher place, or start a rental with BOC as described. You rent a cyclinder first, then take back the empty one and tell them you've used it up and want to end you rental agreement.
