Co2 Refilling Station

[Kaido_RR]

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

you cant get fire extinguishers refilled can you?

i think paul was talking about No2..

[bubba]

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

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

I'd just do it for the CO2 purges

co2 intercooler spray hey..

Mikey, Ring BOC first and check how much, cause I'd expect it would be fairly cheap. You could ring Danny (Judged) at Xspeed as he must get his filled somewhere.

methanol intercooler spray ftw with a big bang possibly!

some one was saying through a hosptial at dragwars or someshit

[GTS-t VSPEC]

alpinestars, That's for getting Nitrous, not for CO2. CO2 you can get anywhere

[fr0st]

Do they just let you go in any fill up any old bottle?

Like polished up fire extinguishers with new fittings?

I wouldn't mind having some to play with, getting a solenoid that can take the pressure could be a problem.

[bubba]

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.

[fr0st]

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 )

[bubba]

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.

just wondering fRoSt..

Where did you get your co2 intercooler spray kit from? and how much did it cost...
