Guessing you are just using the co2 to serve the beer and not carbonated it. The tare or empty weight of the tank is stamped on the side, so you can weigh it and know how much gas you have left. At 30 kegs I would guess your close to empty. Lots of folks like to have a spare tank, that way they can refill on their schedule rather than the tanks

Is your beer a little flatter on the last pour as opposed to the first? Wow 30 kegs, that's a miracle
