Item 1: I have a CO2 tank I need refilled, anyone have any local experience with this?

Item 2: I have some oil cooler lines, and possibly some brake lines that I want to have fabbed up, who is good for this locally?

brakes inc or cross should be able to make those lines

12/3/2008 10:04:56 AM

how large of a co2 tank you trying to fill? I took mine for a kegerator to an aluminum welding place

12/3/2008 10:13:45 AM

Brian you got any experience firsthand getting this shit done at either of those places?



^ that got me thinking, beverage supply companies and maybe fire extinguisher service companies may also be able to fill it. I have a 5lb tank.

Fire Extinguisher place is the cheapest around here(i'm not in raleigh) to get it done.

Carquest can do flex hydraulic hoses (but not brake lines).

Brakes, Inc.

Dup's Auto Parts in Angier can fab ANY line.

Fleetpride can likely do it.

Hard lines, I don't know about any others.

I had some lines made there and was very pleased.

screw national welders. they treat cash customers like crap, gotta have a big account to get any decent service.

I was out at the car wash this afternoon, and I caught a glimpse of a van going by that said BFPE on the side and something clicked in the back of my mind. Seven hours later the thought completes itself and I found a place where I think I can get my tank filled while I wait, and its like 2 miles away.


Also, the brake hoses I thought I was gonna have to make, turns out I am getting them for free, so thats resolved itself.

Now all thats left is oil cooler lines. I would love to be able to find correct fittings to adapt to AN type and then replace the entire line with a section of braided stainless. Is this a pipe dream or is it possible? Pun intended.

what exactly is all of this for?

12/3/2008 10:59:43 PM

Well I need to replace the oil cooler lines on my truck.

he's discovered that there's actually xterra parts on the vehicle, not only the paint. so, custom parts are needed.

It can be done @ Cross on Yonkers by Thee Doll House

Got the tank squared away today, took it to BFPE in Clayton, it was 5 years from new so I had to pay $14 to get it hydro certified and filling it cost me $17.
