That way...you can't use a argon regulator on CO2 (very similar products...buy not quite) or a oxygen regulator on a acetylene tank [img]smile.gif[/img] Seems kind of odd....hmmm.....

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Victor the different thread and mounting types are for industry, it is to prevent acadently hooking up a flamable gas whare you want a inert gas which could cause a explosion... but it is perfectly fine to use a "Mixed gas" regulator on a co2 tank for our purposes.. infact they make adaptors for different types of regulators to go to different types of tanks..

Tony.. the reason they want you to rent the bottel is simple.. conveniance.. basicly they charge you the amount you would pay to buy a new bottle but when you need it filled you just exchange your empty bottle for a new one.. less down time for you and the company can let 50 or 100 bottles build up and just spend 1 day refilling instead of setting up every hour to do it.. also a lot of companies deliver so when they pick up the empty the drop off a full this way only one trip.

I sugest you go buy that fire extinguisher for 50.00 , clean it up and paint it blue.. then call liquid air or who ever and ask how much a hysrostat test, new co2 valve and a fill would cost.. a 5, 10, 15, 20 lb fire extinguisher and a comercial co2 canister have the same throat threads and are interchangable as co2 tanks. also you could try the home brew story when you talk to thease guys.. tell them you purchased a co2 tank for carbonating your beer.. they should know all about this..
