I have wondered if it was bad to keep your tank filled after your done playing but if you stil lhave a lot of CO2 woudltn you want to save it? Is it safe to keep it in there for more thena  couple of days or so?

you can keep any amt. in there as long as you want. iv had a full 20oz for about 4 months. just try to avoid putting your tanks by heat or out of the sun.

Leave it there as long as you like but dont keep it on the gun, seems to be a common mistake to leave the gun pressurized.

It'll be fine. Just dont change temperatures with it really quick and dont let it sit in a hot area of in the direct sunlight.

Watch on leaving your tank in your car. My friend had his behind the set of his truck, out of direct sunlight, and the it still got hot enough that it raised the presure, and blew the burst disk.

the only time my tank isn't full is after practice or somthing like that then it will sit for about up to a month (whenever my mom can get it filled for me) i always like to have a full tank incase of annoying dogs or cats that won't leave (just shoot acouple in there direction) but i think it is perfectly safe to keep it full.

btw. welcome to the forum!
dogde ball may be fun but at least in paintball if somone doesn't go out when they are hit you can shoot them again until they decide they want to give up trying to cheat

soes this make sence?

 You can keep them full as long as you want. But not a couple of days if you have a leak though. Because when you go to play you have like 50 shots left. Which really sucks.

I don't use CO2 anymore, but when I did have it, I left it full. Most of the time I played till it was empty but occasionally I had some left and put the tank in my closet.

As long as you don't leave it in the sun and don't do anything stupid like put it in the oven or near a heater, you will be safe.
