I have a gas tank from my previous mig welder,will be ok to use it for my tig welding on steel?
I still have a chance of spending $30 and be able to feel it only with Argon.
Thanks

If You have a cooperative gas company they will let You trade in Your C25 tank on an argon tank and pay for the contents, If You deal with Airgas they might not let You, My local guy is a prick. You arn't supposed to use C25 for TIG, even on steel.
