CO 2 Canister refill

[The AFX Master]

Hello guys.

We are going with pneumatic shifts this year. Since we are shipping our car from Venezuela by air, pressurized stuff isn`t allowed in the car`s container.

Do you know where we can refill those canisters?, or where to buy them in case refill isn`t possible?

Thanks

Usually they are paintball canisters, so most places that sell paintball equipment should be able to refill them, or you can at least buy a charged one. I'm sure there's some place near MIS that you'd be able to take care of that.

Paintball stores will all refill them, as well as many sporting good stores such as Dicks Sporting Goods

Another option if that doesn't work is places that recharge fire extinguishers. A lot of times there will be a crafty old timer there that can get CO2 into pretty much anything. I had to recharge a CO2 canister used for inflating spare tires (factory equipment in '82-'92 Camaros and Firebirds with limited slip diff...had a full-diameter spare that is stowed flat, and a little can of CO2 to inflate it!), and that was the only place that could do it.

Thanks guys

Googling a bit i found a paintball store half a mile near our hotel.. So we`ll go there and refill or purchase the canisters

or you could be pretend to be an engineer, research what a refill station is, build it, and you can have your very own!

I don't think that's going to help an international team that can't bring pressurized gas with them.

but any paintball or welding supply store should be able to help you out.
