So it would seem fairly likely that small or even normal capacity bottling plants would have stored their CO-2 in a tank somewhere inside ... ??? Or even that those 200 gal. supply tanks were "connected directly to the bottling line" as they were used with two or more of them so they could switch from an empty to a full without interrupting the bottling line. Based upon the stated "one truck load per week" it seems easy to conclude that the amount of CO-2, per bottle of pop, was fairly small. - Jim B.
