Filling CO2 Bottles
Always weigh the bottle when completely empty (not after chilling.) Never
fill your bottle over the recommended weight. A bottle cannot be accurately
filled without the use of a scale to determine weight (you cannot determine
the fill by listening, counting etc.).
Do not use non DOT approved bottles
or valves. Do not use bottles which show any signs of cracks, defects, etc.
If your burst disk (located on the valve) shows any signs of leakage, it
must be replaced immediately. The burst disk is a safety precaution on the
bottle which bursts, allowing CO2 to escape if the pressure becomes to
great. The replacement of this disk and washer must be done by an
experienced person. Also inspect the valve regularly to ensure the valve is
not loosening from the CO2 bottle. If you ever have doubt never fill the
bottle in question and seek out an experienced person to inspect and carry
out the repairs with the right parts.
