And no professional in his right mind would try and repair an unvented cylinder.
That's because your not a professional.
Not a professional in the art of welding that is.

Quite apart from welding stainless steel in an inert gas atmosphere!
another misinterpreted piece of googling Tony , if you were to weld stainless steel the best way is to TIG weld it the IG in TIG means inert gas usually Argon the atmosphere has nothing to do with it, the Argon is used as a shield around the weld point only not the whole atmosphereQuite apart from welding stainless steel in an inert gas atmosphere!
Does you insurance cover you for naked flame?
Probably not. You use that press fit stuff.
I think that you will find many Industrial and Commercial qualified heating engineers have Coded welding qualifications, I know you do not, and thank you for explaining to me what the inert gas does I always wondered about thatBut not heating engineer would normally want to be an expert at welding
I have never seen a leaking stainless cylinder!
Tony, you've quoted under a grand for the job, so you'll know what's involved.The inert gas forms a non oxidising atmosphere around the weld by excluding the air.
But not heating engineer would normally want to be an expert at welding and hold appropriate insurance when all well managed cylinder installations will be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Plenty of Ariston glass lined steel ones leaking though!

As Dan has said, no one in their right mind would weld an unvented cylinder. There's some right rockets on this forum!!
Eh Dan, I'd check the small print on your PL insurance fella!! Are you covered for splitting an atom or working with dynamite?? With mine I need a 'Hot Work Permit' for farting after a Curry.
