Best Answer

A fill station is a bulk CO2 tank, a fill hose and a scale. They are used by trained air smiths and paintball field employees to refill empty Co2 tanks. First the tanks are purged of all remaining Co2, then carefully refilled and weighed. If you are not trained on how to do this, do not attempt, at the risk of breaking the tanks burst disk or damage to you by the extremely cold gas.

You just got a bulk c02 tank and fill station when you try to fill your 9 oz tanks it seems to stop at 2- 2.4 ozs and wont fill any more what are you doing wrong and is this normal?

How is CO2 formed in a coal - fuelled power station and in a gas - fuelled power station?

In a coal-fueled power station, CO2 is formed when coal is burned in the presence of oxygen during the combustion process. The carbon in the coal combines with oxygen to form CO2 as a byproduct. In a gas-fueled power station, CO2 is formed when natural gas is burned in a similar combustion process, where the carbon in the gas combines with oxygen to produce CO2.


How much CO2 is produced by a 10 Megawatt power station?

The amount of CO2 produced by a 10 Megawatt power station would depend on the type of fuel it uses. For example, a coal-fired power station would produce around 25,000 tons of CO2 per year, while a natural gas power station would produce around 15,000 tons of CO2 per year.

How do you refill a co2 tank for a paintball gun?

Take it to a shop! if you want to do it yourself the normal way is to put the bottle on scales and fill it from a larger bottle to a fill weight. To be honest though CO2 is well out of date. A smart move would be to move onto compressed air.


Where can i refill my CO2 tank?

sure, gennerally there are 30lb co2 tanks and 50lb tanks that you can fill from, you will also need a fill station and instruction from a air smith on how to use it, so it is fairly expensive to own, but what a lot of people do it buy a fill station and then rent a co2 tank for the day from a welding shop or another place that will do it (scuba shops sometimes, propane stations, you just have to do a little searching) for a 50lb tank i think it was around $30-$40 so have everyone pitch in a few bucks and you are covered for the day
