hi, i got a spare 2 litre CO2 tank. Anyone can advise whether i can use it to top with helium gas?

Not for marine use but for inflating ballons. Too lazy to keep going back to florist shop to top up my son's ballon.

If yes, where can i top up and how much is it?

Thanks

Hi bro, I don't think so. From my knowledge, helium tank needs to be certified where as most tank we used are either not certified or is only certified to contain non-flamable gas such as co2 nia.

there are several places where you can top up. i normally buy my helium from NOX, we buy by the 'J' bottle or by the crate. the last time we bought cost $0.07/L. how many litre is your bottle? and what is max pressure? you'll know the total amout of helium for a fill. the one that we bought are medical grade, i think you don't need med grade for balloons, just industrial grade will do.... probably cheaper too.

yes, National Oxygen. 'J' bottles are those big tanks that you see at construction sites...lol a crate is 9 of the 'J' bottles pack in a metal crate. i think there is a shop in defu filling industrial grade gases. sorry, i don't know the exact location as we only use med grade for breathing.
