whats in my c02 tank

[bull shark of beer]

Bought a CO2 tank some time ago, and I'm trying to find out what's in it. I'm not sure if there is Nitrous Oxide or CO2 in it. What can I do to find out what is in it?

If unsure, I think I'd dump it and have a vacuum pulled. Start fresh.

bleed it, take it in, and swap it out. let them "wash" the inside

Inhale it if it burns your nose and makes you pass out it's CO2 if you just start laughing like a nut case well you get the point. Ok, just swap it.

Why do you think it has nitrous oxide in it? If its been commercially filled, then it should be properly labeled.

What he said^

Seriously, a Co2 tank should not have nitrous in it. And if it's not a C02 tank, then you should be asking, should I use it? Will anyone fill it?

^^ what both of them said, gas is highly regulated and the label will tell all. Bring it to any supply place to get it checked if you're unsure.

to make a long story short there were no lables on the tank that i could see could not find tera weight.there were some sanke keg dispensers attached.gas dealer said he had no idea how this tank got filled.so i bought a new 10pound tank and regulator. now i am force carbing beer right now.
