Does anybody use an aluminum 20lb beverage CO2 tank for bulk filling? April 10 2012 at 3:15 AM		scottro (Login scottgg) YFOT


The price seems right for these, but what are the downsides? If you take it to a welding shop for a refill, how long do you typically have to wait for them to fill it and how much do they typically charge you? http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/tanks/co2/C20.shtml
