Can Old Scuba tanks be used for CO2?
I have 2 old scuba tanks and I also have a kegerator. I want to know if I can use one old scuba tank, fill them with CO2 and use one for my kegerator?
Answer:
This can be done. but you will need to change out the valve. a CO2 regulators has left inside threads..and note that a CO2 tank has a higher PSI rating to it than a Dive tank. so even thou you can make it work it's not a good idea.. and you may not find a shop to fill the tank because it's under rated for the PSI of CO2
but why do this to a good dive tank..?
Just stop in to your local soda distributer and get a CO2 tank the Deposit on it is 50.00 and the CO2 is 18.00 then just each time you need more drop off the empty and pick up a full one for 18.00 bucks.
Possibly, you would need to check with the manufacturer and specifications before you try.
No. The cylinders for different gasses are designed to handle different amounts of pressure. To make sure that people don't put the wrong gas in a given cylinder, the cylinder threading differs.
