Hi all,

Quick question for you as I've been unable to Google my way into an
answer.....  I recently picked up a Lincoln 135 MIG / Flux welder for some
projects and am unsure what the gas regulator is expecting.  I ever so
conveniently have a pair of 20# co2 tanks sitting around for a beverage
system and would like to use them rather than having to rent a cylinder from
the local gas supplier.  Problem is I can't find documentation about whether
the regulator is expecting liquid (dip tube in the cylinder) or gas (no dip
tube).  I know that straight CO2 is not ideal, but I'm not concerned with
making anything pretty at the moment and would like to use what's on hand if
possible.

Any thoughts?  

Thanks!

-aric.
