I got a T tank through my local auto supply house. I signed a lease generated by them, but is actually held by Praxair, for $50. per year for the tank. I take the tank to any Praxair authorized outlet and swap it for a full one - $18.50 for the contents here in Bastrop, TX.

I chose the T size because it's the biggest readily available here. It holds roughly 13-14 E tanks worth of O2. Keep in mind that the pressure drops in the big tank, each time you fill a small tank. See Sharkboys thread – it has a lot of good info.

Feel free to call me about this. As you know, I’m filling my own smaller tanks and have great little emergency sized tank for my pickup - thanks to a certain act of kindness, Sir. (No, I didn't forget - it will happen)

I pay 26.00 for an M tank.   Anything bigger I couldn't lift as the welders supply place refuses to lift it into my car for me (OSHA or some such nonsense) 

I know....I am no help at all.   Grin

  Thanks everyone,  like I siad its not for me all I have is E tanks from a med supply so welders tanks I have no clue about.  It sounds like the T tank is the way to go, for this person but I dont know I'll pass the info on.

P.S.  Is the T tank the largest?  Does any one have a list of tank sizes?

E  = 24 cu. ft of O2
M = 122 cu. ft. of O2
K = 250 cu. ft. of O2
T = 330 cu. ft. of O2 (The biggest readily available)

As Linda said, a person has to decide what they can lift/carry/transport.

Going bigger than the T would be liquid. Not hardly feasible for one person to use.

Thanks Phil, I fall down I get up. I was huggin my 02 tank and I am glad to be back.
Working with welders 02 for years I can tell ya a liquid tank can give ya all the volume and pressure you want with the right equipment. This would include a manifold,evaporator, and regulation that is required with liquid 02. You dont want to spend that much trust me.

I'm jealous of how much everybody else is paying for O2.  $25-$30 for 80 cubic feet here............
