Literal pressure is 1800 or so. If you are going to do something dangerous I'm not going to take responsibility for it. |

your filling the tank yourself?? thats not very safe. If your tank is PMI pure energy, read the tank, it says only TRAINED personel should fill it

| You need a scale at the least. Until you receive training on how to fill them, don't do it by yourself. |

| You don't fill CO2 to a pressure. You fill it to a quantity. That quantity is ~ 20 oz!! You need to weigh the tank empty, then add CO2 til you get around 18 oz more...if you overfill it, the pressure will go to high, and you'll blow the burst disc. |

yea...not cost effective unless you are running a field...just go to cabelas or some similar sporting goods store. ------------- If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward. |

Exactly. Co2 is filled by weight. At 20 oz tank has a
capacity of 20 ounces. Pressure of co2 at 70 degrees is about 850
psi, no matter how many ounces of it you have. If you have one
ounce in your tank the pressure at 70 degrees will be 850 psi. If
you have 20 ounces of co2 in your tank at 70 degrees the pressure will
be 850 psi. Co2 is measured by weight!!

you fill it ~ 3/4 full... a 20oz co2 has room to hold about 24-25oz of co2. but you need to leave room for it to expand so it is marked at 20. a proper fill on a 20oz co2 tank would be empty weight +20oz. ------------- saving the world, one warship at a time. |
