Re: CO2 weight ?

[A Ling <aling at capu_net>]

Mandy,
   The 20 lb refers to the net CO2 weight.  But I think it's approximate.
At least, using my bathroom scale, my last refill was only about 7.5 lb
for a 10 lb tank.  Don't know what the accuracy of my scale is in this
range, but it reads to the nearest half pound.
