where to refill co2 in fresno area?

[taco522]

I have a home-made CO2 air tank that I'll be using to air up my tires. the problem is where do you guys go to get it refill with CO2 in the fresno/clovis area? I've checked with Fresno Oxygen. They can refill with CO2 but they would not allow me to keep my own tank. they would have to swap out with another tank every time I bring it in to refill.  I'm planning to repaint the tank and put some design on it. So this is not an option for me plus they will charge me a fee for painting on the tank if I bring it in for refill. This is BS.

I also checked with Marlin shop last week. I was told that they are no longer refill CO2 on tanks that are NOT
powertank. Am I screwed or what ?

Please let me know if you know a place in the Fresno/Clovis area that refill CO2. thanks !

Thanks everyone ! I will call around...starting with Pricketts and then some painball shops here in town.

I think a paintball shop will to it as long as your tank is up to date. They fill the same way... U need a fill tank with a tube so it will suck liquid.

Pricketts will do it it will be around 15 bucks.

it's good to know that they would do it. I'm broke. this is why I ended up with this approach rather than go out and buy the powertank set up. Way too much money for me. Thanks !
