i ran out of co2 (pressured) did not notice, i say it must of been no more than half a day or so.

anyway, notice that my tubes were filled with water, my control valve also has water in it.

i disconnected the tank and going tomorrow to refill it.


water in the controler and in the tank. depending on how much, will it be a problem?
 
That happened to me too. To stop that you need a check valve so the water will not run back down the line once the CO2 runs out.

There wasn't much water in my tank, the regulator stopped most of it. The guys at the refill place said it wasn't a problem, they just dried out the tank before refilling it.

Make sure they are ok for pressurized CO2. And the direction is very important with those things. You don't want the gas being blocked coming out of the tank. That could be dangerous.
