Do you have a local gas area that provides the ability to refill CO2 in a canister? For instance in my neighborhood I have a local store called Airgas. They refill CO2 canister as well as sell them for a fairly decent price.
That's what I was thinking but, wasn't sure. Very helpful post. Thank you..Highly highly doubt you will find a place to fill a propane tank with CO2. Most tanks are gas specific, same goes with regulators. I would be surprised if a CO2 regulator would fit a propane tank without some DIY modification to the regulator stem. Each different type of pressurized substance usually follows different guidelines (CGA numbers) to make it so a CO2 regulator fits only CO2 tanks. That way it avoids mistakes as regulators are gas specific and will not properly regulate gases they were not designed for.
edit: A standard CO2 regulator will fit a CGA-320 valve and that is all. Anything else would require replacement/ modification of the regulator stem. Propane tanks use a CGA-510 valve.
thanks a ton, i already bought a regulator from a big box sotre thinkign they were a one size fits all, which now its probobly the wrong one knowing what i know now. does the same go for the needle valves? once i get closer to getting a tank im going to pick your brain, sorry in advance lol!Highly highly doubt you will find a place to fill a propane tank with CO2.
