Re: CO2 refills

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. Rick O 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. Harris LaRocqueman(a)aol.com wrote: not
