How do I fill my own Co2 tanks?

[Willie B.]

OK...OK....may be a dumb question, but here is the situation. I just purchased my own fill station, and next week im picking up my 50lb tank of Co2 to fill my own bottles. Would someone with experience please tell me exactly how to fill my tanks right, without blowing myself up? Hehe....guess im dumb. Thanks..

First you have to stick the fill station on the bulk tank, then you will need to get a digital hanging scale to weight the tank, you can get a fish weighting scale at Walmart for about 2o bucks, you attach both co2 tanks bulk and yours to the fill station, then weight your tank empty, open the main valve by the bulk tank with the valve closer to your tank closed this will put co2 from the big tank into you tank, you watch the scale and when it goes up 9 ounces(if you have a 9o tank) you turn off the main valve. Then you unscrew the screw on top of your tank and release the the second valve, this gets rid of the co2 in the fill station so you don't blow your tank up, if this isn't that clear there is an article on warpig about it wiht pictures.
