Geez, My welding shop on south Lyndale only charges $14. Sometimes
they hit me for a hazardous charge but I usually complain.

Yikes! They charge about $25/20# tank. This is about a 12 pack of
Summit
Winter Ale more than what I paid last Friday.

I don't have a problem with tank to tank filling (I used to do it with oxygen) but I would urge two extra safety precautions. When you are filling tanks which hold liquid, like CO2 and Propane flash off (outdoors of course) a small amount of gas from the tank to assure the presence of a gas bubble in the tank. Flashing off should not replace weighing the tank but should supplement it. It should also be noted that almost any gas can be life threatening if it fills an occupied space.

Hi to all,
I normally go downtown (Mpls.) to get my CO2 cylinder refilled. The place is called All Safe Fire and Security (a division of All Fire Test). They are located at 915 Washington Ave. North, Mpls. Their phone number is (612) 332-3473.
They have VERY reasonable pricing, and will fill your cylinder while you wait....normally 15 minutes or so...
Cheers,
Steve Weiland

Forget what I said. Al has the correct name-Reynolds Welding Supply.

OK, these places do exchanges but regularly stock
aluminum CO-2 tanks. Minneapolis O2 in North
Minneapolis and Toll Company in Plymouth (Toll is less
reliable, but they have had aluminum tanks whenever I
have gone in). Perhaps other outlets are good about
stocking CO-2 but I have had good luck with these two

Park Welding Supply in St. Louis Park, over by Park Tavern on Louisiana and
Highway 7, takes care of me. They almost always fill it while I wait. I
have my name on my tank, and if I leave it to be filled, they always give me
back my own tank. Toll used to fill it while I waited when I used to go in
there.

Rick maybe you could let us know when your next doing this. so I can avoid
that part of town. emergency vehicles really mess up the traffic.
There is a place that will fill (not exchange) your tank in St Paul
Weber & Troseth Inc
1902 University Ave W ST PAUL, MN 55104
651-646-1034
its a block west of Porkies
go around to the back
they will usually fill it on the spot. P.S.: they *really* like homebrew
(even mine)

Then there always is the option of filling a small tank using a large
tank. Although it is a bit spooky on the first few tries, I use a
10,000 psi hose with two regulator ends to fill my small and medium size
tanks using the 20 pounders. It was challenging to pay $7-9 to refill a
2 pounder and only $13 for a 20.
One big concern is not overfilling the small tank. This is easily
checked by weighing the empty tank and adding the tare weight to the
capacity. If you overfill, purge excess gas until the weight is
correct. The best way to start is to freeze the small tank.
NOTE: All pressure tanks are protected with a blast disc. This
includes propane, liquid, and compressed gasses. If a blast disc
blows, it quickly gets your attention and the valve quickly vents all
gas/liquid. Just a word to the wise.
BTW, I experienced tank to tank filling when precharging nitrogen over
oil/water accumulators.

I've was able to have my tank refilled at Toll (the one in Plymouth) as
long
as I was there when they were filling tanks. They were also good in
exchanging my nice, but not quite new, tank with one in similar
condition.
