Any benefit? I have no idea. You use straight argon for
MIG? That's for what, Aluminum? I only do steel and use an
argon/co2 mix. Filling from a MIG bottle would be no
problem. People fill tires from Nitrogen bottles. You have to have
a regulator either way. I suspect that there are lots of gases that
would have the same benefits (if you believe there are benefits) as
nitrogen. I think nitrogen is probably the cheapest and easiest to
generate on site.
