Thats what you're going to have to do. You actually "purchase" a tank.
What happens in reality is that when the tank needs refilling you'll
swap the tank you have with another one. The basic reason for doing
this is that ALL compressed gas tanks have to go through a testing
process every few years, to assure that they aren't going to explode
when filled with the compressed gas. Most holding tanks including an
air compressors tank will rust from the inside out. There is water
vapor in most everything to a certain degree. You'll see this when
water condenses on the outside of a cold beverage can. The problem
with this is that you don't know there is a problem until the tank
explodes. Hydrostatic testing will cause a tank to show it's condition
before it causes a problem you need to be concerned with.

Can anyone recommend a good source for a 5lb CO2 tank? I've explored
things locally and it looks like they don't want to rent anything that
small so I'm faced with purchasing.
