Hey guys,
I just got a paintball tank to regulator adapter from my LHBS. I picked up a 20oz paintball tank at walmart and when I took off the cap I realized that walmart refills used ones and resells them. The top was slightly discolored in spots (probably from being a year or so old [i used to play paintball a lot]), but cleanish. My question is this, could I infect my beer if walmart did not take care to keep the tank semiclean or would it just be like going to a Keen Gas Supply shop and getting a regular 5 gal CO2 tank? Is there a high chance of infection with either option? And is there anything to do about it?
