I like that it is portable and I can take it with me places easily. The oxygen tank is an R 20 cu ft and the acetylene tank is a MC 10 cubic foot. My question is if I am doing some serious cutting, how much run time will I get on the tanks?
Also considering this one.

Im just afraid that I wont use that much oxy and acetylene in a years time.
I have 3 pickup trucks here that need to be cut up an scrapped, need to do a little bit of welding but ive already got a good mig welder. Anyways after I get rid of the 3 trucks I will probably cut up about 1 vehicle per month.
I've got an 80 oxy and 75 acet tank. I use it mostly for cutting, with a little brazing and a moderate amount of heating. I bought them in the middle of December last year, and about a month ago I had to get another oxygen tank. You'll need a bigger tank than a 20.
Also, I have an 80 cf C25 tank for my mig welder. Haven't changed it out yet. Have gone through 6 or 8 lbs of wire so far, so that gives you an idea how much oxy you'll use.
