The 3 types are:

Siphon - has a tube that runs to the bottom of the tank to siphon up liquid CO2.

Anti-siphon - has a small tube in a 'J' or 'L' shape so that when the tank is installed horizontally, the end of the tube is pointing up and only sucking CO2 gas.

Regular - no tube.

: Hey Zachary

: Most tanks sold ARE anti-siphon tanks.

: The rest are "siphon" tanks and usually labeled as such. A tube runs from the valve to the bottom of the tank and makes sure only liquid CO2 is sent to you gun.

: An anti siphon tank simply doesn't have the tube.

: You probably own one already.
: Check with the manufacturers website or local shop that sold it to you.

: The kit you refer to is about the price of the brass fitting that screws into the tank that contains the valve stem. It is a replacement kit for when the valve stem won't stay sealed and leaks or the threads are burgered up from being dropped.

: There I saved you some money.
