Just like LPG here in Oz, a lot of the time it is absolute rubbish, and sometime you could get lucky and source some good stuff.
Forever re-tunning cars on LPG due to poor gas.

I have only once had poor Argon gas, and they replaced the bottle for free. But it was a hassle trying to prove it was poor gas though.

Not a bad little device Kent!.
Thanks, John.
Yes, it is a tussle getting the gas supplier to accept a dirty bottle back - but easier now than back in 1989, when it was almost unheard of. Like Rick M. mentioned, the dirty ones likely go right back out .... Been thinking if there is some way to trigger a "hydro test" on a given bottle....
I'm sure that will get the bottle pulled from service, uncorked and washed out.
