Hi everyone,

I have recently bought over a 2nd hand CO2 tank, lately i noticed that the tank pressure gauge indicating 50 kg/cm2... so now i wonder:

What should be the reading of the tank pressure then I need to refill my CO2 tank?

Also, what should the correct reading on the working pressure gauge?

Need help urgently cos' if i need to send my tank for refill I need to stop my CR and also hunt for a LFS that provide refilling service...

CO2 tank owner please advise ... :bow::thanks:

As long as there is still pressure in the tank there is no need to refill. Only when it is very very close to zero should you have it refilled. Alternatively you can get a spare CO2 refilled just before your current tank runs out. That way you can have the replacement running while you get your current CO2 tank refilled. I think there is a reefer providing CO2 refill service if I did'nt remember wrongly. Not sure if he is still providing the service. Best to check with him.

Always something more important than fish.
