We offer 20lb tanks.. some people buy them.. they are just a bit more cumbersome and take up more room.. some people prefer to run 2 10lb's instead or just have a spare. But if you have the room 20's work

Would it be a PITA to take a picture of a 10, 15 and 20 next to each other for comparison sake?

if you have ever seen a co2 bottle that restaurants or gas stations use to corbonate the fountain drinks that is exactly what a 20 lb bottle looks like.

Heres a picture of one that I found. I know there other sizes aren't there to compare it to though. It looks a little bit longer than my 15lb bottle.

The 20lb bottle is the same height as a 15lb bottle, but 1" bigger in diameter.
