Mig gas setting?

Could you tell me what the gas setting should be on a Miller 135? There about. I only found one article that said 20 - 30 CFH. So I set it @ 25, then I talked to a fiend in welding school and he suggested trying 20 so I did not use up as much gas. I am using 030 wire.



I will be welding 063 and 1/8 thick tubing mostly after I fix the stock panel gate with thick wall conduit that the horses flattened by pawing for there food at feeding time.



What is your thoughts?



Do I need to adjust the gas that much to the thickness of stock just like the temp and speed? or just leave it once it is set?
