[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1892582, member: 24428"] Update. God certainly blessed me this evening! I've been looking around for a 20 pound aluminum Co2 tank and a good dual guage regulator. In my area the cheapest I could find a 20 pound tank for was $150 filled. On-line they were about $100 empty + shipping and then the cost of filling. A regulator on-line would have been $75+ shipping. This evening I called a soda company in a town about 30 miles from me and told the owner I was looking to buy a Co2 bottle. He said they only serviced commercial accounts because he felt there was too much liability selling high pressure tanks to individuals.. that with the commercial accounts, his people did all the bottle changes most of the time. Anyway.. after some talk, He said he would sell me a empty bottle and then I could have it filled on my own since it would be my tank.... and that is where I scored big time. He sold me a empty 20 pound aluminum bottle in excellent condition for $25... and a new in-the-box professional grade dual gauge regulator [tank & line pressure]- the ones his company uses-- for only $50. I felt like I was holding him up at gun point. I couldn't count the money out fast enough. Now all I have to do is order the hose and fill caps for around $25 and I'll be set-up in the home soda buisiness for approx. $120 including a full tank of C02. :) [url]http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j474/David2U2011/100_1656.jpg[/url] [/QUOTE]
