n2 tank converted to co2

[Jdogg]

i was wanting to know what parts i need and what tanks are reccommended

Well, you need a Co2 valve and an anti-siphon kit. Thats about it. I would reccomend you having an Airsmith install it and the Anti-Siphon kit to your particular gun.

A CO2 pin valve, an anti-siphon tube (if you want) and some locktite.

As for recomended tanks I have no clue...

it's not THAT hard to instal and anti-siphon tube. I think it's pretty easy myself...

for tanks like if i use a 48 3000 tank how much co2 will take to fill the tank? the same for other size tank

Find out how much one CUIN of liquid CO2 weighs and then you should have your answer.

Bottle Volumes:

Bottle Volume
size (cu in)
(oz)

3.5 9.0
7.0 18.0
12.0 31.0
20.0 51.0



Roughly, the volume of a CO2 bottle (cu in) is about 2.57 times the bottle size (oz)
Specific Gravity of CO2 is 1.977 gm/cc Thus the weight of 1 cu inch of liquid CO2 is 1.140 oz.


A "full" tank contains about 34% liquid CO2. If it is filled any more, the CO2 will become very sensitive to temperature changes, with a small increase in temperature causing a large increase in pressure. This is a dangerous situation which is avoided by only partially filling the CO2 bottle.

One cubic inch of water weighs 0.577 oz and the specific gravity of liquid CO2 is 1.977 gm/cc so one ounce of liquid CO2 has a volume of 0.877 cubic inches. CO2 bottles generally have a full-fill to volume ratio of about 2.57 cubic inches per ounce of CO2, so that one ounce of CO2 will take up 0.877/2.57 = 34% of the total volume of the bottle.

The figure of 68% is often quoted as the volume of liquid in a full bottle, but this error probably stems from translating "ounce" into volume using water as the standard. Water is 1.00 gm/cc, or about half the density of liquid CO2 so that if a CO2 bottle is filled to its rated capacity with water, it will be 68% liquid by volume.

Hope I helped
