So where have you bout c02 cylinders in or near Chicago? Where do you go to get them refilled?

I'm about to start calling around the Northwest side to see what I can find, but any input would be great.

I get mine filled at Illinois fire extinguisher company, out in Lombard on Rte 53 - it's only 10 min from my house. Don't know if they sell new/used cylinders. 630-629-2413

This site has c02 and will show you thier local distrubutors. One of them is listed in Chicago but there is a couple here in Bourbonnais and it is located by Olivet Nazerine University (where the bears training camp is).

If you are on the north side of Chicago near Evanston, you can go to "Evanston First Liquors" and get your CO2 tank refilled for $20. However, I am not sure whether they sell/rent CO2 tank or not.

I live in Elgin and get my CO2 refilled at Fox Valley Fire & Safety. They just moved to a new location out by Randall Rd. and Rt. 72. Just dropped off my 5lb tank today, in fact. My tank is past due for testing, so it's going to take a couple days to get it back. Hydrostatic testing plus a full recharge = $36.

Got my 5lb tank back from Fox Valley Fire & Safety. Ended up being $37. It would have been only $15 if it wasn't for the 4-year mandatory tank testing. I also could have gotten filled in 10 minutes while I waited instead of two days because of the testing.
