He just needed to take it one step further. Use a welder's bottle, and he won't have to beg. Just stop in at the local weld shop or farm supply and exchange the bottle. Both types of bottles have to meet the same safety regulations and inspection schedules.
Ernest, sometime the closest welder is a long walk from the airport you just landed at.

I don't disagree. But airports are often in or very near industrial districts. KRDU has a welding supplier within site of the runway. Of course, you wouldn't know that unless you lived locally and were building a tube frame aircraft 8*) Still, I think it would be easier to get a bottle exhanged most anywhere vs getting someone to let you sneek a fill off their big tanks. Lots of airports have loaner cars, a phone, and a copy of the yellow pages.

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
