I keep forgetting to close the tank valve when I finish welding. I probably used no more than 10% of the gas for the last few tanks. The flowmeter/regulator does not seal the tank completely. If I don't close the tank valve the gas will leaks out after a few days.

That's not good. Take a squirt bottle with soap and water and find the leak. Gas isn't cheap...BobBob Wright -
You will remember when you go to use it next time and its empty and now you have to buy another...BobBob WrightComment

+1...... if you are paying for it.... my guess is that closing the bottle valve will become a higher priority.....Originally posted by aametalmaster View Post

Hang your hood over the tank valve to remind you. Get into the habit of shutting off the gas before shutting off the machine.

H80N, you do have a way with words......
i "just remember" and turn the valve off even if I just stop for lunch. A habit I developed as a kid with OA.
now, please don't ask me if I've ever forgotten to turn it back on after lunch......Last edited by Aeronca41; 08-21-2016, 08:37 PM.Comment

Yet one more advantage to stick welding....
Although the used stick welder I just bought has arc burns on the case, because someone kept forgetting to turn off the machine before coiling up the leads. One problem or another....Comment
