Hey,

Im looking for a place which can refill C02 bottles, i will be using the smallest standard Co2 extinguisher bottle size (if that matters).

I am aware i can get it refill at BOC gas but i belived the price is alittle high.

If i remember correctly paul was talking about where to get it done cheaply At dragwars?

Thanks Michael

Is it just straight co2? any idea what the fill point looks like? doubtful, but depending on the type of fill nipple might be able to get it done at the paintball field.. like I said though, doubtful. I imagine the fill point to be similar to that on my HPA tank which is a different fill point to my co2 tank.

its N2O mitchy :woot:

We have big CO2 bottles for kegs at work and they only cost like $30 to fill. There about half the size of a scuba tank. I'm not sure where they get filled but BOC would be the best best, it'd cost like $20 tops. Welding stores might also be another one, I think they use co2 sometimes aswell.

Is this for a homemade inter cooler sprayer? I was thinking about doing it with water but this looks like way more fun :O

I'd just do it for the CO2 purges >_<

Generally any pressure vessel has to be hydrostatically tested every 1-3 years depending on the type of vessel and it's contents. Off the top of my head the HPA cylinders I use for paintball have to be tested every 3 years. If they are not in date you will be refused filling.

I asked at work about the keg CO2 bottles. Bottles are 2.6kg and $260 to buy, they fill them in an exchange program. Its $20 to get it filled at beer tech (sp?) in Balcatta.

I wouldn't mind trying this if you ever find someone that will refill retrofitted fire extinguishers. Ebay has a few nitrous solenoids that would work (and can be used for nitrous ;))

If you could successfully get the retrofitted fire extinguisher hydrostatically tested, there should be no problem getting people to fill them.

If you want I can find the details of the guys we use to get our tanks tested.

    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
    • From memory it wasn't too hard to simply see which wire ran where when you plug that in. Unfortunately also from memory the OEM sender does not use the same configuration 99.9% of gauges run. So in other words if you connect the signal wire that was running to the OEM gauge to your DEFI gauge you might find your oil reads at 200C or some other incorrect value. I remember having the same line of thought and then running new wires/senders to match the gauges I have. The pinout is available in the R34 workshop manual.
    • Does anyone on here know which wire on the GTT triple gauge pod harness is for the oil temp gauge? my sensor works fine but I upgraded the gauges to DEFI advance. And if I can simply piggyback off the oem oil temp wire to the Defi oil temp sensor wire that would make life so much easier.
