co2 fill question

[boggerman]

I was just in the garage looking at my wire-feed welder thinking that I need to fill the gas bottle. Then I was looking at my mag thinking that I need to fill the gas bottle. Here is the question, could I use my bottle on my welder to fill my co2 tank? It runs a 75% co2/25% argon mix. If this is a terrible idea please don't hesitate to say so.

I think calling it a bad idea would be a good idea. Don't mess with compressed/flammable gases if you don't know what your doing.

Argon is not flammable, it's inert http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif but netjunkie is right, without the proper regulators and fill station, you are taking a big gamble. Besides, wouldn't it be more expensive to use welding gases?
