My New 50# Co2 Tank!!!!

[B-Dub]

My friend's dad just dropped off a 50# CO2 tank for me! It was hrdro tested 5 months ago and is FULL.

Question: If the 20# tank I have hooked up to the tap fridge has been going for a year and pushed 30 to 40 kegs with little to no drop in psi......how many 5 gallon kegs will a 50# tank push???!!!

Yeah, you read right, the 20# tank has been holding at 800 psi for a very long time. I even turn the tank off, bleed the line and turn back on to see if the guage is stuck! Could this be a magic tank???

you obviously need to drink some more beer. That 50# tank is going to last you a looooong time

i use my 50 to fill my 5...that way I'm always ahead of the curve on Sunday afternoon when everywhere for 150 miles is closed.

where does one get one of these?

we had a 75# bottle fitted with a drop tube so that we could refill CO2 fire extinguishers about ten years ago. we stopped refilling those in '95, so it's just sat idle. I just dropped that sucker off a few days ago in order to get tested and filled.

Nice score!!! That thing is going to last you years (unless, of course, you get a leak!!!)

Your regulator won't register a drop in psi until all of the liquid CO2 in the tank has turned to gas. In other words, it won't show a drop until you're just about out of gas.

Exactly. The only way to know how much CO2 you have left is to weigh the tank - otherwise you just have to keep an eye on it, and when the pressure starts to drop it's just about empty.

i say sell refills
