Wow, I just went through the same hassles! I got so upset with being lied to by air liquide, prax air etc. that I refuse to deal with them. By the time you add all the pieces in, their prices aren't cheap and I can do without the attitude.

I ended up buying the 10 lb. bottle, regulator, solenoid and needle valve package from J&L for $339. They also gave me advice on how to set it up and what kind of problems to expect.

I had the bottle filled at Fraser Valley Fire Extinguisher in Abbotsford for $18.50. They said they would need the bottle over night but called me a few hours later and said it was ready for pick-up.

In the end I have all new parts, good service from where I bought them and it cost about the same as the used tank and hassel from the gas supply stores.
