What exactly is a syphon tank and is this one?** A: The siphon tank is the same tank basically but the valve is connected to a tube that goes to the bottom of the tanks that when you open the valve your forcing out the liquid from the bottom up, which is what you want to fill another tank. If you have a standard tank without the siphon tube you could essentially turn the tank upside down and it would do the same thing as if it were a siphon bottle, of course this not an easy way to operate your tank and would opt for the siphon tank instead. Also if you put your smaller co2 bottles that your filling into the freezer beforehand you’ll find it’s easier to fill them that way. They fill better when cold. Thats why you may see someone filling your tank just open the purge valve and dump the co2 in the smaller tank to frost up the outside before trying to fill it. Just remember that your paintball marker is going to run better, more consistent shots, etc when its getting only the gas from the co2, not the liquid. They don’t like the liquid and weren’t designed to work that way, so if your having an issue or hammering down on the trigger until your tank gets all chilled on the outside then you need to incorporate an expansion valve somewhere in the system. This will allow the liquid to turn into a gas before it gets to the valve body. A remote tank that mounts on your waist , like in the back along side your hoppers is another option as the long hose from the bottle to marker will serve as an expansion valve. We would use a hanging fishing scale to do our fills, a 20 0z tank will hold 20 oz of co2. Getting the tank to accept the entire 20 oz is the hard part, at least your not overfilling at that rate. Be safe and have fun. Never risk a shot at someone not wearing the proper headgear/eye protection, use common sense when filling. **Q: Does this tank come filled?** A: No, you will need to get the tank filled at a local welding or gas supply company. Many times these shops will swap your empty tank plus payment for a filled tank, so don't get too attached to the shiny new tank as you may be swapping it for one with some scuffs or imperfections. **Q: Is this a siphon or non siphon tank?** A: non-syphon tank **Q: Is this a food grade tank?** A: Hello K,The tank sold by The Beverage Factory is a food grade tank.Anthony 1-800-710-9939www.beveragefactory.com ## Frequently Bought Together - Luxfer - CO2-5LB-LUX Zebra DNA L6X Aluminum CO2 Tanks with CGA320 on/off Valve (5 LB, Brushed) - Premium Double Gauge CO2 Regulator - Polycarbonate Bonnet - KegWorks 3U-OTPE-R5AP Air Line Jumper 5" with Screw Clamps --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1667206-luxfer-l6x-aluminum-cylinders-for-beverage-co2](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1667206-luxfer-l6x-aluminum-cylinders-for-beverage-co2) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
