Re-filling CO2

What should I use to re-fill CO2 tanks, can someone provide a link, I want to have about 8 guns at first for rental and they will run CO2, what do I use to re-fill them. With N2 or CA I want to use a Scuba Tank, but I wasn't sure about CO2.

you get a few bigger co2 tanks and a fill station. If you are planning on opening up a field, you need to do a lot more research if you dont know how to fill a co2 tank. Good luck

Bulk CO2 tank(s) with either a dip-tube (siphon tube) or a normal tank mounted inverted. You need to fill with liquid, so those are your options.

A CO2 fill station with the needed lines and fill/purge valves, and an accurate or digital scale to weigh with.

If I go with a 20lb. CO2 tank a a Single or Dual Valve Fill Station, what else do I need, do I still need a syphon? And also when I talk about owning a field (under my tag) I know I hardly know anything, but this course is for youth/church outreach for the kids, this is not going to be a cash cow, that is why I am trying to learn the info.

Thanks!

Then I suggest you research more about owning a field. Try searching on here, and other paintball websites.

I would do LOTS of research about owning a feild, it can be a lot of work. Also, go to other feilds, ask them what they use for filling Co2, and where they got the supplies, etc.

The 20Lb (or larger) CO2 tank will either be marked as having a siphon tube installed, or will need one installed. If it doesn't have one you can also just mount it to something upside down (valve-down) for the same effect.

Sounds really cool that you're doing this for the kids, but that probably means you need to know even more. They won't know either and won't notice anything that's about to go wrong like a tank starting to come apart at the valve or anything else.

The co2 refill stations are kinda like scuba tanks, get help from other field owners.
