Don't screw with the tank. It isn't a barbecue gas bottle. CO2 tanks run 1,800 psi on a hot day, or about ten times that of propane. The alloy is heat treated and welding gets hot enough to affect it not to mention localized stress around the added hole. When it ruptures, it will obliterate...

That maybe the issue. Use NSF rated plumbing silicone grease. O-rings are often damaged during installation and assembly from getting nicked from sharp edges or pinched due to lack of lubrication. Do not use anything else on the O-ring. Petroleum base will damage the rubber and non NSF may...

I sort of wonder who came here just to post that. I don't make beer, but figured I'd post my experience on following through on this post. I found this post after searching the internet about CO2 exchange cost in the area. I've done a handful of cylinder exchanges(nitrogen, acetylene...
