Where to find co2 tanks?

[JNEW]

The last piece to my puzzle...where to find a co2 tank, and what kind of shop carries them locally? I'm in Indpls, but is there a certain type store to look for? Would someone like a Sporting Goods store, or would it be like a propane store? Thanks again!!

A welding supply store would carry co2 tanks. That is also where I get mine filled.

Check out the Micro Matic line of cylinders. Be aware that a gas company may not fill your cylinder. They may simply exchange yours for one of their own cylinders of the same size that is already filled.

And that tank will likely look like it has been tossed around the monkey cages at the zoo. Wherever you plan to have the tank filled at, call first and ask.

From what I gather, the main reason suppliers do the exchange thing is because it takes a buttload of time, trouble and co2 to fill one little 5 lb bottle. If where you want to deal with wants to exchange your shiney new Micro Matic tank, ask if you can just drop yours off on the day they fill all their bottles and pick it up later that day or the next.

Paintball shops will have co2 tanks but prob in a diff size than what you need. However some of the larger shops will fill the 5lb tanks for you. A local paintball shop around me will fill the 5lb tanks for $15

I purchased my new co2 tank off of the internet. Micro Matic carries them. I had it filled while I waited at a fire extinguisher store. It took about 10 min and cost about thirteen dollars.

I would order tank from internet and then check with your store that you buy your kegs from...if it is abigger store they may have a CO2 exchange program...that what I do...
