APPLICATIONS!! Danger Will Robinson!!

If you want a bottle fed gun, buy a paintball HPA tank.

Same as any other CO2 tank. You would have to be extremely lucky to have it fit. Also, I would guess that it might be about the most expensive way to buy CO2. Why not just buy a bulk CO2 tank (like a siphon tube fire extinguisher- I got a 15 lb hydroed and filled for $75) and the proper fittings to fill your PCP.

I have that system and the drinks are great and cheap, but the tanks are really heavy and have a non-standard thread on the valve where the tank attaches to the dispenser. Never took the valve out of the tank so I can't confirm what the tank threads are and if they would fit a standard paintball type valve thread. By the looks of the bottle I think the neck is too small to even accept a standard valve.

My thought would be to go with a standard tank from one of the suppliers here on the Yellow.

is a hydro test advisable on this?

Your application is making soda, then that's what it is made for. If you want HPA application then use this >
