    Co2 to weight to cubic foot conversion.

    I was wondering if anyone had a rough conversion as to how many cubic feet a 20 lb. Co2 would be.

    Roughly 8.8 cubic feet per pound.

    Approximately 176 cubic feet for a 20lb CO2 tank.

    About 162 cubic feet. At sea level, at 20°C, so on and so forth on paper.
    I thought it would be alot more.

    So 160-180 cubic feet. How does 15$ for a fill on the 20 pound seem for pricing.

    That's pretty good pricing - think it was about $20-25 here last time.

    Thats what I pay to fill a 5lb keg bottle.
    But a 20lb is $20, then a 50lb is $50, most of the cost of a fill is the filling action its self.
