Co2 tank Problems need help

[wingman0330]

I just filled my Co2 tank for the first time. I got it home put it in the keezer and started changing the seals on my keg. I heard a loud pop and hissing went over to the keezer and sure enough the Co2 was pissing out of the tank. Has any one had this happen before? How do I get this fixed? I was so close to enjoying my first kegged beer. Any help is greatly appreciated!

As in, the tank ruptured?

Was a regulator installed on it? Was the tank valve open or closed? Where was the co² leaking from.

So many questions and no answers in your description.!

I took it back to the shop where I got it filled and they said the safety valve blew. The guy who filled it overpressureized the bottle I guess. They were cool and fixed the problem, all is good now.

They overfilled it. Happened to me once.
