I bought 2 soda kegs at a garage sale for less than $30. To compliment my newly acquired stainless steel beauties, I decided to get a CO2 tank, lines, fittings... the list goes on.
Now I've got this brand new shiny CO2 tank from Northern Brewer and I call the local gas place (Airgas - here in Johnson City, TN) and am told that they don't fill the tanks there. They keep filled tanks on hand and will have to swap me for a used filled one. Maybe I'm being childish, but the idea of handing over my brand new shiny tank in exchange for some frat's banged up 3 year old bottle with remnants of a "NOS" sticker still on the side doesn't appeal to me. What is more common for you to do: exchange your tank, or wait for it to get filled when you walk in?
Does anyone have any insight into the secrets of gas dealers in northeast TN?
