I just got my first CO2 tank today. A friend of mine who works at Pepsi
gave me a 25 pound tank that he said was full. When I plugged in my
regulator that has been sitting here for days it barely went up 1/4 of
the gauge to stop around 750 PSI. My question is, Should I go have this
tank filled? Or is it already full, and 750 PSI is normal?
Thanks for any help.

Wait 24 hours. May take some time for the temperature to rise in the tank
to room temp. Should be approx 850 lbs at room temp.

Thanks Bob,
I just checked it again and it is around the 800 mark. It's kinda hard to
tell exactly, but I had expected to peg the regulator near the max...Guess I
learned something today, I suspect there will be a lot of learning in the
weeks ahead. :-)
Thanks again,
