Maybe I should have worded it better.
for a given HPA tank volume (47cu/68cu/88cu/114cu etc) how much CO2 by weight can I put in it?
I mean if a 47cu tank holds approx 20 oz of CO2 then to get any sort of advantage over my current 20oz tank, I would have to buy bigger than a 47cu tank.
: * First of all CO2is measured by weight not volume and you need to leave a 20% expansion gap.
: Basically you can only fill to 80% capacity.
: Any tank with a DOT, TC or HSE needs to be hydrotested at the prescribed interval. It does not matter if it is a Wrapped HPA, Steel or Aluminum; all must be tested.
