Igo's Welding Supply Co

205 Grove Street<br> Watertown, MA 02472<br> 617-926-2030<br> http://www.igoswelding.com/

Note that their business hours are normally 8-4 M-F. They claim to have limited Saturday hours during the summer, but it's unclear when exactly those apply. <br>5lb tank: $18

Metro Welding Supply

102 Clematis Avenue<br> Waltham, MA 02453<br> 781-736-0078<br>

As of 01/06/2004: Unfortunately, as for Metro Welding, I went down there and apparently there are new rules just handed down from the FDA that CO2 gas used for beer or soda has to have some kind of certification or some such, so the guys down there said they can't do fill CO2 for beer anymore. They recommended IGO's in Watertown.<br><br>

Wesco

351 Vassar Street<br> Cambridge, MA 02139 <br> 617-491-3553<br>

I went in and spoke to the folks at 351 Vassar St. last Friday, 04/08/05. It seems to be called "Linde Gas" these days. Address and phone number are still valid. One thing that surprised me is that they do not fill *your* container with CO2; instead they swap your empty container for a pre-filled one. At the time I went they only had steel cylinders filled for swapping. They were willing to swap for my aluminum one, but I did not take their offer.<br><br>

Arco Welding

1200 Eastern Ave (Rt 60), <br>Malden, MA 02148 <br>781-324-6190 <br>5lb tank: $12

Somewhere in Quincy

Near Home Depot near Furnace Brook Parkway. _Can someone validate this?_

Airgas

5 Pond Park Rd # 1, Hingham, MA (781) 740-0087

Airgas does tank exchanges, and has 5 10 and 20lb tanks on hand. They are open only during the day and limited hours on weekends, but if you can make it when they are open, their prices are cheaper than most other places around.

Blanchards in Allston

103 Harvard Ave, Allston, MA (617) 782-5588&#8206;

Blanchards does tank exchanges, but charges an arm and a leg for the gas, additionally they label all of the tanks they get as theirs, so if you go to them once you are stuck going back and getting ripped off for the remainder of your days.
