I get mine from Davidson as well.  Tanks need to be inspected periodically and if your tank is past due you will need it tested or get a new tank.  Its about $90-$100 for a 10lb tank.

If you live in a university town or near a hospital you might want to call Praxair too.  They can deliver/exchange but I don't know about their prices.

uhm 90-100 bucks to get tested?? wow.. do you have to get it tested before you fill it up.. i assum Davis fire extinguisher is the best place..

Thanks everyone for their comments

no.. 100 bucks to replace.  I had mine tested last year and I think it was an additional 10 on top of the fill up.

Your bottle will have a date stamped into it.  That's the last date it was pressure tested.  They are good for 5 years before they need to be tested again.

Thanks for clarifying, no the test is not that expensive.

My tank is a brand new tank... so i guess i needs to be tested first but 10 bucks is reasonable..

If...you try Praxair the tank is just exchanged for a new one on delivery, not refilled on site and I think the tanks belong to them and you rent them.

Got what i need and the co2 tank is up and running

Thanks

Everyone..

Here is a Partial Lead.

There is a place in Gatineau / Gatineau that is less expensive for filling up CO2 tanks.

I don't recall who told me this or witch company he was referring to, but someone may want to follow up on this, as I do remember him saying " it was worth the drive from Ottawa ".

Sorry for being so vague I don't use CO2, but the partial lead maybe worth it for some of you.
