    Hi all.
    Hope all is well.

    I have a question DIY related.
    For a DIY CO2, I'm talking with gas tank and regulator etc, can I use a propane/gas tank? I know the question has been asked before but I couldn't remember the answer.
    Would it be safe to use? Fire-extinguishers are getting expensive and these seem like a cheaper option.

    Your input will be great, thanks.

    Co2 tanks work at a much higher operating pressure and therefore have a greater tank wall thickness. It will be extremely dangerous to use any other tank, in fact I don't think the refill guys will ever fill it for you due to the danger factor.
