Level of liquid in different size co2 tanks

[z-zero]

I was wondering if anyone knew the level liquid co2 (where is the liquid level while a take is held vertically when full) on different sized tanks, 12 16 20 oz tanks. I'm wondering because I think that different sized tanks would need there anti-siphon tubes to be different lengths or installed at different angles (because of varying diameters) or both for the best protection from pulling liquid into a Mag. Has anyone ever researched this or expieremented? I know temperature would affect this but there has got to be a best way to set up each size tank. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

I beleive the liquid is only about 30-40% the volume of any CO2 tank.

Check out this link, it shows the geometery of how the tube works.

I've installed my own, torque them down tight and use red loctite! You may feel better about a air-smith doing it. Tube lenght isn't really an issue, just bend it up into the "air space" when the bottle is horizontal. Make sure you mark "up" on the valve so you can install it correctly each time, or share your bottle with a friend. Not all ASA threads start at the same point. If you screw in a anti-siphon tank and the tube is pointing down into the liquid, you now have a siphon tank. Very bad for a mag, been there, done that, got the tee shirt.
Not rocket science but make sure you know which way is up.
