Hi
I have been running co2 on my tank since I set it up about 4 months ago,I use 500g re-fiillable bottles.I acquired a 2kg fire extinguisher from work for free so thought I would put it to use.I took it to the place where I get my bottles filled,the guy told me that the fire extinguisher should either have the dip tube removed,or operated upside down,(he removed the dip tube and filled the bottle for a tenner)if you do not do this you wil get liquid Co2 entering the regulator,this could be dangerous.I told him that to my knowledge most people just operate the FE upright with the dip tube in place,maybe I'm wrong.Has anyone experienced any problems.
Cheers
Rudi
