Found some info on ASCO's site, should be 12# including the valve. And I have almost 15# so it should be good. Heading out of town next month and wanted to be sure I had enough to push 6 gal....I thought TW was a legal requirement.........My aluminum tank weighs 7.6 lbs. You could look up the density of aluminum vs steel and calculate a weight. This of course assumes that they have the same volume. Or you could wait for someone else to post the weight of a steel tank. :smilielol:Just call me Mr. Helpful.

Mine was made in 2000. Was that with the regulator?I've never tried the chargers but I've watched a few people lose all the CO2 and run through a bunch of cartridges trying to hook them up. Anyway, this is for a portable kegerator - another converted 70qt igloo cooler that will have a two tap tower.Thanks for the tips guysIt's your lucky day. I just got a brand new 5# steelie of CO2 today. It weighs in at 17.87 lbs.

I have one of those chargers and love it. Never had a problem with the connections or the cartridges. I've served an entire 5gal corny on two cartridges.Mine was made in 2000.

I weighed this tank when it emptied out. It was 12.02 lbs.BTW, I have another 5# steel tank. It has a tare weight on it, 11lb 14 oz. Not sure if that includes the valve.
