Title: Co2 FILL STATIONS IN THE UK
Post by: strokerdave on March 15, 2013, 06:38:21 PM
Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but . . . . . it seems it's not always easy to get your Co2 bottle filled unless you bought it from the same place as is going to do the re-fill.

Perhaps anyone who knows where it is possible to get an in-date Co2 bottle re-filled, whether or not it has been purchased from the same place, could post details in reply.  We might even end up with something which could form a directory . . . !!

Moderators; If this should be posted elsewhere or in some way causes a problem - Sorry, no offence intended, please move/ remove and let me know why.  Thanks very much!  Dave.

You may check with your beverage supply distributor.  They supply Co2 to restaraunts, Pubs, etc.  that sell carbonated fountain drinks. If you're talking about a commercial bottle, you may have to do a trade-out program with them, when it empties.

Thanks for the above - I should have made it clear sorry my mistake!!

I intended this to refer to those of us looking to re-fill  "field" sized bottles for example 12oz/ 20oz or similar. Dave.

Wupps...my mistake.  :-[     Well that's pretty stinky that they only wanna fill "their" tank.    What about a fire extinguisher service company?  They may have your fitting size, or adapter to mate you and fill your tanks.

Thanks Bullit - that's an idea! Such places (any places!!) would be a welcome part of this thread. I'll look into this locally to me and post any useful feedback.  Cheers, Dave.
