Question:

Need Handle for 5lb CO2 Tank.?

I have a new 5lb Aluminum CO2 tank for a kegerator, however the round handle of the shut off valve is missing(long story) The tank is brand new and I want to exchange it at a welding shop for a full tank, but I don't know if they will take it sans handle.Any ideas of where I can find a new one? Thanks in advance.Mike

Answer:

If you eat it, YES it is VERY bad
If you listen to every nut job out there, you might as well dig a hole and crawl inThere is nothing wrong with foil.
Aluminum foil is only for baking, like covering roasts, etcMike
Aluminum foil has been around for at least 75 yearsThere are aluminum baking dishes, skillets, and pansIf the foil was bad, we probably would have found out by nowThe only thing I know about, is the reaction between tea and aluminumThe aluminum will bitter the teaGood luck with the cookiesAluminum foil will do the job for you.
look in the phone book under beer and beverage and you may find a wholesaler who deals in kegs along with supplies for ityou got to look at your tank there is actually a expiration date on itthese places sell tanks and can fill them and they usually have a exchange progam where you can just swap yours empty out to get a fresh full one thats not expired and then they will just pull yours from the exchange cycleI just found that out myself and the exchange tank is newer and up to codekeep on keggin!
