What size tank of shielding gas do you have for your Mig Welder?
I just bought a Lincoln 140 and am looking at different tanks of shielding gas. I was going for a 40cf but was told to go at least 80... just in a hobby form what size tanks are you running, and how long do they last?

You want at least an 80. I have one on my 135 and it usually lasts about 4 hours. Tank cost me about 150 and about 50 to fill it up each time.
I have the full cylinder on my MM 251 and have yet to use it up.
Obviously how fast you use it up depends on the flow rate setting for your application.
