Where In The Uk Can You Refill Co2 Bottles

[MoreCoffee]

Hi,

Where can I get my CO2 bottles filled ?

I know lots of people (including myself) have asked this question in the past.
I've done a good bit of searching in my own area Nr Loughborough & Leicester and a bit further around the East Midlands. When asking the stores I've tended to ask about JBL (or similar bottles) and not CO2 fire extinguishers or larger 'pub' bottles.

Hopefully this list might be of use to some.......

Chris, Agreed, I'd thought about compiling a full list once there have been a few replies.
I've seen so many people asking this question that I thought I'd see if together we can get a bit of a list sorted out.

I rang a few in my area ......one even said "we dont do CO2" ... only carbon dioxide ( we've obviously got a long way to go !)
When I questioned her further, she meant Nutrafin !

I believe that Maidenhead Aquatics are able to fill the 2KG JBL bottles (genuine JBL only), however I dont think there is a Maidenhead in your area

Not that I know of, just the welding cylinders, but worth an ask I guess. The 12lb cylinders are done on the typical swap basis, take an empty one, swap for a full one.
