CO2 Refill?

[dirtman13]

I just got a new CO2 tank and was wondering were you OC boys refill your tanks. So far the cheapest I found is $20 for a 10lb refill. Thanks

That's about what I pay. I get mine done at a welding supply shop down here in the Long Beach harbor area.

I use a fire extinguisher shop in Eagle Rock- $15 for a 10# tank. Rather than piece a sytem together this guy has a quality, affordable package deal. Nice guy too.

I go to AirGas in Duarte. I spoke to the guy and get the contractors price (level 8), and it cost 11.52 for a 10lb tank.

That's the tank I got.
Thanks for the info guys. I talked to a welding supply house close to where I'm at and he says he only charges $9. I'm going there this week.

That's a nice price! The shop that I go to in Hunt. Beach charges something like $20....... I fill mine about twice a year and it costs just as much to drive over there as it does to fill the tank.

I get mine filled at the ACE hardware. 5 bucks for a 10lb tank. Their setup is made for the smaller paintball tanks so it takes a little longer to fill but you cant beat the price.

How many tires (35in)can you air up with a 10# tank? about.

Sweet,maybe this is a better way to go than an oba compressor. Olus one day the air compressor will break.

Wow, all you guys are lucky!!! Best place I found is in Northridge, of course I'm in the SF Valley....but still I found a Tavern supply place and they charge about 14 bucks...
The others you guys are talking about, is that a fill or an exchange? There's only a few places here in the valley that actually fill as opposed to swapping. Most are in Van Nuys.

Anyway, love the CO2 setup, less expensive to setup, and can get about 2 or 3 weekends in (have 31's) plus dust blow-off.
Great if you don't want to spend thousands on oba yet.

After seeing how quickly Highway420 aired up after Millers, I "found" me a tank. It's 20#, kinda big, but it was free. I went to Airgas and bought a regulator and fill. The regulator was $75, fill $22. I used the connectors from my air compressor, so, now I have CO2 for about $100.

That's what all the CO2 guys told me when I put my York on the YJ - almost 10 years ago.

I can count all the folks I've run into with broken York systems on the trail on one hand. Folks who've run their CO2 dry? Let me take my shoes off....

I pay $15 for 20lb here in the central valley.

I think I filled up one of those broken York guys, which coincidently finished my tank off on that trip.:bonk:

The key is know how much the tare is of the tank and put the bathroom scale to work. :geek:
