How Do You Fill A CO2 Paintball Tank?
Filling a CO2 paintball tank is the backbone of recreational paintball. Without CO2 millions of recreational paintball players would be stuck throwing paintballs at each other. If you just started a paintball field, paintball store or recently got a job at one, you will be expected to know how to fill the CO2 paintball tanks. Check the date on the tank and verify that the tank has not expired. Attach the tank to your fill station. Drain the tank completely. Wait until you hear no gas coming from the tank. Hang the tank from your hanging scale and re-zero the scale. Close the bleed valve and open the fill tanks valve to fill the CO2 paintball tank. Allow the tank to fill to its capacity or about half of an ounce under capacity. Close the fill tanks valve when the small tank is full. Disengage the tank and bleed the excess CO2 from your hoses. Remove the tank from the fill station.
