Re: Turn my welder's main gas valve off?

Do you guys always shut the main gas valve off between jobs? Does it leak or not through the valve in the handle? If I'm done welding for a while I shut the main valve off but I'm just curious about those shorter intervals.
Turn it off.

Unless you like paying for wasted gas.
