I decided to move my C02 tank outside of my Kegerator for a few reasons...
1) So the regulator is easy to access and reads correctly
2) More space in Kegerator
3) I can use a 20lb CO2 tank
Here is how I did it....
1. a)1 inch diameter metal-hole-saw
b) Plastic fittings (male and female), 1 inch OD, 3/4 inch ID
c) Two washers, 1 inch ID
2. Make hole in side of fridge, be careful not to cut coolant lines (I started with a small hole and cautiously poked around until I was sure I wasn't going to hit anything).
3. Connect fittings, washer and plastic fitting on each side.
4. Filled in gaps with spray-in insulation (I love this stuff).
5. Put gas line though.
6. Finished! A look at the outside (Very tidy compared to my usual work!)
