i do admit im a little nervess of my tanks. should i be this worried?
Regular compressed gas (nitrogen, oxygen, etc.) cylinders can become missiles, but a CO2 tank is less likely to do that as the internal pressure is lower, and as the CO2 escapes, the tank cools rapidly, thus dropping the pressure even more.i haven't in my 15 years...someone else i remember saying had thier's in a hot car and it blew the PRV.....and someone else said someone died because someone had a tank on it's side and it blew, went like a missile and hit someone....

is it ok to lift a 20 pound tank buy the valve
cool ty everyone. this may seem stupid question but is it ok to lift a 20 pound tank buy the valve its so hard to grab it by bottom of the tank. also how much presure is the outlet of the co2 tank valve?
The Myth Buster tested that, no explosion. They tested the missile thing by breaking the valve off of a larger oxygen tank I think and I believe it punched a hole in a cinder block wall.true story as a kid i watched jaws. the part that scared me was the tanks i mean it killled jaws. jaws did not scare me the next day i was swiming in the ocean. but i always thought about the tank
So, you go through a 20 pounder every ~3 months, it sounds like you've been through several so far, yet you still don't know how to carry one??i do the trade in so my tanks are pretty much checked every 3 months or so
Sounds like he knows how to carry it, he was just inquiring if he was handling them the safest way. Reading comprehension is funSo, you go through a 20 pounder every ~3 months, it sounds like you've been through several so far, yet you still don't know how to carry one??
