Where to fill a CO2 tank??

[Daveyboi]

I know I could just call all the welding supply stores, but if someone out here in the Fresno, Ca area knows exactly where to refill a CO2 tank. It would be appreciated....:D
I just recieved my Ca reactor setup from MarineDepot....:D


Thanks,

:D

Look for a Home Brew store, they always sell co2.

You can get yours filled at Fresno Oxygen/Barnes Welding Supply. I have to have mine sent up to the Fresno plant to be filled. You could probably get yours filled while you wait.

Great link Brian. I found two in Visalia!

So will those places fill up your CO2 tanks..............

I called up the welding supply places and they will only trade so I'm going to have to trade my brand new CO2 tank for a rusty scratched up tank.....:(
I guess as long as it does it's job............:D

Dave,

You don't have to trade your tank. At least not at Fresno Oxygen or Barnes. If someone told you that you need to talk to the store manager. I had a brand new $70 tank and there was no way they were going to give me some beat up cylinder.

[Daveyboi]

Yeah I did call Fresno Oxygen/Barnes...............
The guy I spoke to said they don't have the equipment to fill the tanks. Only to trade it in for one of their's. He said that's the only way, even when I told him I just bought my cylinder brand new and didn't want to have to trade it. Isn't there like three Fresno Oxygen places here in Fresno-Clovis area?.............


Yeah, I hate the thought of giving up this brand new shinning clyinder for a beat up one.............:(

Call the Barnes Welding Supply on East Main St. in Visalia. Ask them where they send their CO2 cylinders to. The manager there had no problem returning my cyclinder. Also, check out that link that Brian posted. Might be worth a try.

[Daveyboi]

I'll try that................:)

You must resist the dark side of the Force that wants to take your new cylinder:eek2:

[Daveyboi]

Go to Prickett's Distributing on 123 M St., Fresno; ph#2680201. They're nice and don't mind dealing with my small tank refills.

hey if all else fails, you might want to try a paintball store. I get my paintball gun tanks refilled there all the time and it is like $4 for a 20 oz tank. Im sure they would fill it up as long as the valve was the same size as their adapter.

Your local welding supply store is your best bet,even if you have to trade in your tank.Tank trading will make sure that you have a tank for a lifetime,not having to pay for new valves on tank when the STAMPED date is expired.It will assure you a good safe tank everytime.:)

Thanks for the info elmosz1............:)
