CO2 tank refilling and hydro-testing
Posted: Thu Nov 04, 2010 4:12 pm
For those who want to keep their own CO2 tanks rather than swap, here are some companies that will fill them for you. They can sometimes fill them immediately, but be prepared to drop the tank and pick it up later. If you're in a rush, best to call ahead! We are looking to keep this post up to date, so if you find a new spot, or this information is out of date, let us know!
