Does Walmart fill up Co2 tanks?
Unfortunately, Walmart does not fill Co2 tanks as of 2021. Customers can purchase Co2 fill stations at Walmart for at-home use or buy their small, pre-filled, 12- to 90-gram Co2 cartridges.

How many kegs can you get out of a 5 lb Co2 tank?
If you are using the CO2 only to dispense the beer, not to carbonate it, you may get as many as thirty 5 gallon Cornelius kegs out of one 5 lb. CO2 cylinder. However, most homebrewers are also using CO2 to force carbonate their brew, so this brings it down to around ten 5 gallon Cornelius kegs out of one 5 lb.
How long is a keg good for once tapped without CO2?
about 90-120 days
This is especially true for craft beers because different styles of beer last longer than others.
