    I was able to get a 3000Psi tank for filling tires after airing down, my question where do you get them filled at? My compressor at home will only do 120 max.

    Do I just take it to a scuba diving place? I dont want 3000Psi in it may only 1500psi? It's an old scuba tank.

    to use CO2 as air it needs to be liquid not gas. Also the tank must be filled cold or it will turn into gas and have no volume. Final note if you do air up your tires with CO2 after wheeling the rubber will bleed CO2 so you will need to top them off with compressed air a few times.

    What fittings do you need? Home Depot has some plumbing but nothing specialty.

    For the love of God don't put co2 in your scuba tank. Put compressed air in your scuba tank. Fill it at a dive shop, or your local fire station. Also make sure the hydro is in date properly

    Didn't see it was SCUBA. A welding suppler won't fill it anyway in that case.

    Sometimes you can get C02 tanks filled at beverage supply and distribution places. If they sell kegs and taps, they can probably fill tanks. Also, some Cabelas and sports warehouse shops will do it.

    The tanks can also be filled at fire extinguisher companies.

    Once again, do not put co2 into your scuba tank. You will blow it up. If you want co2 then get a co2 tank
