Guys, I've made an Excel sheet for everyone to tabulate into. It's also good for existing CO2 system owners to compare performance of their CO2 units. Please unzip the file and key in the info, then send it to me at chopx@rocketmail.com. Let's take this offline. I will post the findings once I have sufficient data (hopefully)...

Anyways, the contents are as below in case you are unable to open the Excel file:

it seems you have very good persuasive powers to get it filled at MOX.

lfs charge like RM30 for a 2kg tank.
Yeah..it's an old cylinder for medical use, easily 15 years old. It was "small" in those days.

It's about 3 feet tall, but quite thin. It's very heavy for sure, luckily I had some training in the gym some years back.

Persuasive? Yeah, I just refuse to leave when one guy told me my tank is not standard specs bla bla bla....until one guy, Loges, came and help. I'll confirm with MOX how many kgs they actually fit into my tank. I used to refill from the gas shops at rm40. Went to 88, they couldn't refill my tank on the spot, have to send to the factory they claimed. I assume it would cost around rm100 to get it refilled from 88.

Here's some update. I've just collected my cylinder which was filled with 6kg of Co2. I paid rm39 in total which is still cheap. They painted my cylinder to grey color which is the color code used by MOX for Co2 and checked my tank for leakage all free of charge.

Co2 refill for 3kg is rm28 from MOX(jln 222). 88 charges rm50 but can collect immediately.

Look for Ah Leong.. he quoted me a 4.5Kg CO2 cylinder for RM150 and he will change/convert the fire extengisher cylinder head with a connector/switch suitable for CO2 so that you can screw in the manual or solenoid regulator to it.. ( regulator not included with RM150 )。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Stan, do you mind sharing his contact number with us? Taman Sungai Besi is sort far from my place. I just wanna make sure he got stock b4 i venture to that area.

Got a tank from them today. It's basically a used CO2 fire extinguisher tank with a new head suitable for connection to a regulator. You may also get a new tank if you wish but it will cost quite a bit more...

Refills are RM 20 and is done within minutes.

Their contact numbers are:

79833214
79836366
Fax: 79813344

that's a good deal. the prob is the refill has to be done twice to get near max capacity. because you will only get gas and not enough liquid co2 in it...if you have smaller tanks then you will need to go more often. maybe that's why it's cheaper.
