I bought a G cylinder of argon from a mate of mine who owns a gas company and asked if he would be interested in doing me a deal on a G size CO2.
His company doesn’t offer G size cylinder CO2 but said he’d be interested if he could get a few out.
I pushed it one step further and asked for one with an induction tube so I can decant into my smaller cylinders. He agreed if we could get at least 10 out there with 3 being induction, he would make that an option.
You buy the cylinder, it comes full of CO2, and you own it outright. When you’re ready for a refill, it’s cheap as chips for a cylinder swap. All of the cylinders are well in date and maintenance of future swap cylinders is on him. You’ll never have to worry about testing. I've listed an F size as well because they are more manageable and will go towards the 10 minimum.
Cylinder pricing (full of CO2)
F cylinder – holds 22kg - $460
G cylinder – holds 31kg - $470
G cylinder (liquid draw) - holds 31kg - $490
Refill Costs
F cylinder - $75
G cylinder - $80 (That’s only $2.58kg) (will refill a 6kg bottle 5 times)
I’m not sure what everyone else is paying, but my last CO2 refill was $55 for 6kg… That’s over $9 a kg.
Delivery
Delivery charge for initial cylinder purchase is $25 (within the area as defined below)
Ongoing delivery charges for swaps. $1 per km from the intersection of A28 and M2. (minimum $25) All distances are based on Google Maps
Maximum delivery area is 60km from A28 intersecting M2 as per Google Maps. This will cover Penrith and Campbelltown as well.
All distances are based on Google Maps
You can always pickup/swap at Baulkham Hills or Wahroonga and forgo the delivery charge but G and F cylinders are quite large and heavy.
All cylinders come with metal caps and must be returned with the swap or it’s $10 extra. (safety first)
So is anyone interested in one of the 3 options?
1. TexNOz – with induction tube.
