dangros February 17, 2019 Share February 17, 2019 It seems that Bars By Bud is now gone! Not only was it a well priced place to refill my CO2 tank but Bud was a really nice guy with whom I always cracked a joke or 2 during my fills. Sucks to see the place go. Anyone know of alternatives?

Origami February 19, 2019 Share February 19, 2019 I've used both places. The last several times, though, I've traded out my cylinders at Robert's in Sterling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do both, refill if your tank is within date, or exchange if out of date. I know because I work there.

AlanM February 21, 2019 Share February 21, 2019 This is good info. I bought an aluminum tank way back when, and it was nice and clean, but Roberts doesn't fill, they just exchange. The one near Shady Grove Metro seems to have 5lb aluminum ones to exchange for most of the time, though. If I bought a new one I'd definitely want it filled rather than exchanged.

dangros February 21, 2019 Author Share February 21, 2019 That’s what I did. I had a nice new tank and didn’t want to trade it in for a beat up one. That’s why I went to Bud. After a few years of salt on it, I’m not as married to a container plus it’s pretty much tucked away where it’s difficult to see. Thanks for the info guys. I actually had a scheduled surgery the day after getting the tank swapped. Having the calcium reactor stop working that close to being away from home is stress I didn’t need. Luckily it all worked out!! So again, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
