I fill mine using the 'ole freeze and feed method. Works great.

Once you buy a filling station, you will never go back. I use it and also sell the gas. The time you save alone is worth it. Also if you get a good hook up, you will be suprised of the money you save in the long run.

I fill my own also. I bit the bullet and bought the NX fill station. I had the compressor and the filter system to separate water if there is any in the 60 pound bottle. I then rent the 60 pounder for 5 bucks a month and buy the N20 in it for 3.00 a pound local to Iowa City. When you but the fill station you also get the filler lines and the other parts that you need. All you have to do then is take the bottle out of your car and hook it up to the fill station. It takes only a few minutes to fill the bottle. I like it because when I go to the track I carry all of the stuff in my truck and fill at the track.

You have to look in the phone book for places that sell gas. It takes time but I found a medical supply to get mine.

I made my own. It consists of a tank of "Nitrous Plus" from a gas supplier, a stand to invert the non-siphon tubed tank, a feed line with a filter on it. You need a few misc fittings and I recommend a 6an line. Freeze and fill is the best way.
