Hey Guys,

I've got a smaller Lincoln Mig welder that I have only used as a flux wire welder. I would like to do some body work so I'd like to have some gas, but I don't want to get into a contract with a gas company when I only use it occasionally, and not on big jobs.

I ran across some large 75/25 welding tanks on Craigslist I'm thinking of buying. The lister says they're full, and if that's true, they'd probably last me for decades, but I'm not interested in buying stolen welding tanks. Is there any way to tell without offending him? They're a couple hours drive for me, and I don't want to drive out there just to check them out - especially if I don't know what I'm looking at. Any suggestions?
