i dont know if you guys have heard or used this company sounds ok to me

ALbee™ is a new brand and concept created by Air Liquide to supply rental free cylinders to the welding market.
Cylinder Exchange Programme
 
Simply purchase an ALbee™ small cylinder from any approved reseller. Then when it needs replacing just return your empty cylinder to any approved ALbee™ reseller in the UK and exchange it by purchasing a refill cylinder. Its that easy… no more rental and no more transaction charges.

couldnt get there on your link so tried this one http://www.albeegascylinders.com/ and it worked
not sure about the small bottle size though, looks like 11ltr is largest. will have to checkout prices.

I think they`re the same that my local engineers suppliers do. I think they`re £99 for the bottle but I didn`t get the price fo refills/exchanges coz I couldn`t afford the initial price at the time, but I will be going on this route in the (near???) future

hi, sorry i havn,t kept you updated  but honestly i forgot to post it

i emailed them at head office and got an email back about a fortnight later not very quick service,,, and it didnt tell me a lot
but there was a phone number attached (wich i can,t find just now)
so i phoned it and a very nice lass told me that they only do their vershion of argo-sheild in the non rental scheme at the present time (thats where you pay for the cylinder outright then just pay a refill cost each time you exchange it)
but she assured /promised me that they will be doing acceteylene  and oxygen in the new year (jan 2012)
as for price she said to contact youre local distributer as price can veriry ( i gather that its a franchise sort of set up)

but from what i could work out (about 6 wks ago) its between £79 and £100 for the first cyl full inc the cyl and about £29 each time you exchange .

 hope this helps

i,ll give it till the end of the month,,   then try and get an update  as thats when my ENERGAS rental is up for renewal
