Re: [GSAS-Member] CO2 Tank Questions

[Laurel Larsen <laurelthequeen@gmail.com>]

Central Welding in Lynnwood fills CO2 tanks while you wait.  It costs  
a little more than swapout, but like Erik said, if you have a nice  
tank, sometimes it's worth it.  Big E Ales in Lynnwood/MLT does CO2  
tank swapouts for $5.  I have a new, shiny, pretty aluminum tank for  
my kegerator that I paid $13 to have filled at Central Welding.
