I was just getting a cup of coffee and noticed that our fire extinguisher looks just like my keg tank, minus the valve on top. Its thick steel, certed, and just has a nozzle instead of a threaded connector on top.
Here's an example....

Granted shipping may be pricey, but i'm sure you could get a craigslist score for DIRT CHEAP if its empty or the nozzle is broke. Put up a wanted ad and see what happens.
Anyways... what all is involved in taking off the fire nozzle and putting on a threaded fitting? Will it need to be certed again? Where do you get replacement valves for tanks? I'm pretty sure this can be done. Now that I think about it, I have a feeling my existing tank was a fire extinguisher in the past cause it was red, and it was CHEAP!
This could be a very very cheap way to get a CO2 tank!!
