I went to NB welding & got a 5 lb filled on fri. With hazard waste fee it came out to 13 & change.

Hey Bob,
Where did you pickup your tank? NB welding?

I think the cheapest for alluminum tanks was Boc gases.

 

[agent6473]

I just called. $65 for a 5lbs tank full at BOC. Sounds good to me.

i have a spare 20 pound tank, i bought it from a brs member (forget who, but he sold a bunch--a fireman)...if anybody wants it...$50....it is not aluminum, has lots of exterior rust but worked well for me.

what's the size difference from a 20 lbs tank to a 5lbs? I would like to attempt to cram it behind my stand if possible.

Well, it is about 4 times bigger . I have a 20lb tank and they are pretty big.

Here's a picture of 2.5, 5, 10, & 20lb tanks
