where to get c02 tank filled?
I received a brand new fridge conversion kit for Xmas this year and everything is ready except for the CO2. I can't find anywhere that will fill the tank. I've tried welding supply, fire extinguisher fillers, industrial gas supply, and a local home-brew shop. Nobody can fill my tank but they will all swap it out. I'd like to keep my shiny new aluminum tank and not replace it with some beat up steal guy.
Paintball uses a different connector which doesn't seal on my tank's threads. We tried at one place.
Where are you guys getting your tanks filled? Or are you just swapping them out each time?
I'm in St. Louis, MO.

I took mine to a local welding supply store and traded it out for a steel one. When this tank is empty, they will have my shiny aluminum one waiting and all filled up for me. Unless you are keeping the door to the fridge open (not a good idea), nobody will see the CO2 tank anyway. Trust me, the steel tanks push the beer out just as good as the shiny ones.
Enjoy your kegerator...I know that I am enjoying mine.

Course it would happen this way. Finally found someone who understood why I didn't want to give up my tank. Hampton House of Liquors has a brand new brushed aluminum one just like mine to swap with.
Sorry for the now unnecessary thread.

Swap it. You never see it anyway and they all work the same.

I get mine filled. Payed good money for my nice pretty aluminum tank and I'm keeping my hands on it. Plus, call me a bit type "A" but, I keep the inside of my kegerator just as clean as the outside and I don't want a chunk of rusty steel in there! Also, my local welding supply fills it on the spot with no trouble for $9.00.

I'm the same way, I keep a piece of 3/4" plywood on the unit floor to avoid tearing it up. wipe the inside down after changing kegs, and keep a good coat of meguiars car wax on the outside
