Alright, I have a 10# Ultimate Air tank on order. Does anyone know of a place to fill for less than $20?

Any welding supply shop should fill it for $10-11. Been filling mine in Texas so I don't know the local places in NM yet.

I use Tri-Gas on Washington between Alameda and Paseo. Used to be about $14, but the price has gone up. You should be able to walk out for less than $20. They will fill while you wait while many of the other places want you to drop off the bottle and come back.

Filled up my 10# at TriGas two days ago. Was $15 and some change. I was in and out the door in 10 minutes.

But then how will we get to hear all the colorful trucker-talk when we're traveling on the highway?

Believe it or not, truckers use the Megalink quite a bit these days as they're probably tired of the CB chatter.

I use Matheson Tri Gas off Jefferson just North of Paseo Del Norte. last fill I believe was around $15.

edit: dang! walk away for 5 minutes and everyone beat me to it!

pre post for Ali...

FYI there is some pretty good chatter on this new HT radio... good price (~100$?), free programming software and likely USB cord interface. check it out if you are in the market.
