Hey guys, i guess this may seem like a stupid question to a lot of you but what is the difference between a co2 tank and a compressed air tank? How do i tell the difference? Can either gas just go in the tank? I've done some research on it but i am still confused. Also can you get the tanks filled at Mersey Rd field(co2)? If not where is a good place to go? Whats it run ya for a fill?
Sorry about all the newb questions

Thanks for any info!

C02 is a liquid that turns into a gas when it enters the gun. Compressed air, or HPA is high pressure air. There are air tanks and c02 tanks and you cannot fill a c02 tank with air, and vise versa. Air is also better for your gun than c02. and yes, you can get c02 and air tanks filled at mersey.

I'm not sure if that answered all of your questions but i hope it helped.
