What are the CO2 fill capacities for the Carbonator Tanks?
Refill capacities for Sodastream Carbonators are 14.5oz for the 60L (small skinny tank), and 33oz for the 110L (large tank). However, you will never be able to fill 100% to those capacities due to physics and CO2 properties. We have covered this quite extensively in our User Support Forum in the Technical Support area. Please stop by and read the articles, they will help you greatly. Paintball tank capacities are stamped on the cylinder, typically 9, 20, or 24oz. Same rules apply. The short answer is that the Carbonators are refilled by WEIGHT/CAPACITY and not by PRESSURE. It’s like trying to fill an 8oz glass with 9oz of water, it just cannot be done. Except that in a Gas like CO2, it can be compressed but only if you have multi-thousand dollar equipment. Typical refills are 60-80% of rated capacity. Realistically, it does not matter since YOU now control where and when you refill and it’s INEXPENSIVE! Q: When using a donor cylinder I am clear on the need to fill slowly so the “Soda C
