Can you put oil on the top of a CO2 tank? I do that sometimes too. Just shoot a few shots after dropping some oil on the tank.
This article got me worried...how long should you keep co2 tanks? I've had some that I got from other people that I don't even know how old they are. wait, is this article about nitro stuff only? If the tank has scratches on it...should I get rid of it? where do I get rid of it? Is there an article about this somewhere I can read? haha, I don't want my co2's to hurt my or my friends from lack of knowledge. |
You are fine. Don't worry.
CO2 can NOT ignite. CO2 is what is used in many fire extinguishers.
There is already oil in your 12-grams. Shooting oil through your gun with CO2 is perfectly safe.
Your CO2 tanks have the date of manufacture stamped on them. They are read in the form of "06^04" Meaning "made in June(month six) of 2004."
CO2 tanks are cheap so it's good to buy new ones or exchange them for 'in-hydro' full ones at Wall-mart when they get old.
