Definitely something for the op to look into and verify before filling
Yeah @FrozenCaveMan please make sure you know what tank you have before filling. Iâm pretty positive thatâs a 30# which is ridiculous if they sold that with their 5lb system. If youâre unsure post a pic next to a tape measure so we can verify for you.
âŚi geuss since theres no markings, all i can do is fill the tank and weigh it and see what it holds⌠i bought this direct from BVV, if they sent the wrong tank i can get it switched or refunded, i run passive, so tight tubes dont work for me
Please donât do that. Tanks should never exceed an 80% fill.

Just looking out for your safety. Not trying to insult your intelligence. Lots of people buy systems they donât know how to safely operate.

Its looks like a 20 or 25. Almost the same as my 20lb steel tank.

ok so its usable if i pack 3lb or less per run. Damn tho looks like im in the market for a 100# tank.
Depends on the solvent to material ratio you like to run. That tank will hold 25lbs butane or 20lbs propane. So if you like to run extra gas for fresh frozen or youâre using propane or a blend youâll have to figure out what itâs really capable of based on your preference. It can definitely run 5lbs dry flower at a 5:1 ratio.

Haha I wasnât the one hating on the tank. Size just looked off. Iâll take a 304 stainless tank over carbon steel any day.

You could get a larger âsupply tankâ and use this one for just recovery. Would also allow you to have this one at vac so you could be recovering while injecting (if this was something you wanted) You would have to use n2 to move the gas to your supply tank each time the recovery tank filled. But would be much easier than covering a huge tank in dry iceâŚ
Just my 2cents for a way to utilize this tankâŚ
