Hi,
For any CO2 gas bottle experts. I am looking at purchasing a gas bottle and asyou all know i have two options, aluminum or steel. Can anyone tell me whatsbest? From my research i can see that Aluminum does not have the big rust factor andas per most gas bottles the ones i am looking at have a 10yr life span (i know steel ones do as well) beforethey need to be re-tested. It is my opinion that Aluminum would last past the10yrs and would this be the case?
Another reason i am leaning toward Aluminum is that i notice all regulators have inlet filters, is this because rust particles
from bottles can affect regulator mechanisms and to what extent can this ulter the life span of regulator?
I am not concerned about durability issues as i under stand all gas bottles need to be handled with care and i am not going to play football the thing, so please do not bring up this stupid marketing ploy. I am also not interested in weight.
What's best?
