regulator

Ahh, unless I miss my guess....you borrowed an Oxygen bottle, and are trying to use a regulator set up for Argon mix. Not a good idea, safety wise. The Argon regulator is not cleaned for oxygen service. There could be petroleum based residue on it, or in it, which could catch fire, or even explode. Besides the safety issue, Oxygen is not going to work as a mig cover gas.

Thanks for the help. The guy at the muffler shop was nice enough to let me use his extra tank because all the airgas stores were closed for the holidays. I guess I will just refill my bottle on monday.

O2 or c-25

what is in the bottle? you dont want to use a c-25 regulator on a tank of strait co2.

Western Enterprises makes an adapter for virtualy any match. Your local supplier should have 'em; if not, do you have an AIRGAS dealer? They've got 'em.
