Hi - if you are still renting cylinders and getting your gas from BOC don't blindly accept their standard prices - ask for a supply agreement which may result in substantially cheaper prices on gas and rental even if you only use small volumes.

After 40 years paying standard prices, the day after I returned my welding cylinders, I got an unsolicited call offering better prices via a supply agreement.

This was tempting but I managed to avoid the siren song and took back my mig cylinder too - free at last.

What put the final nail in the coffin was dealing with a thoroughly unpleasant accounts person when trying to sort out an overcharge.

He was the most horrible arrogant person I have encountered in a long time.
