Ah Mah Gah. 
So Tuesday morning I get my 15# CO2 tank filled at my normal place. 
$12. Awesome. 
Then on the 30 mile drive home, I'm 4 houses from my own, and my CO2 tank decides to abruptly release its contents inside my Honda Element. 
POW!!! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF! 
I fortunately was not on the highway doing 75 in rush hour traffic. 
I was going like 10 mph on my residential street. 
The car filled with white gas immediately, and I was able to pull over, hold my breath, put it in park and open the door and jump out. 
I was so lucky this didn't happen earlier in my commute and no other cars around. 
The old lady bringing in her garbage cans was quite concerned as well. 
I thought at first I'd run over an IED, but quickly remembered it was just the CO2 tank. 
Wednesday:
Just got back from the CO2 place. 
Turns out they thought it was a 15# tank. And it's a 10#. 
They even looked it up in a computer system first. 
They replaced the burst disk, the CO2, and gave me $3 back. 
I shoulda asked for a new pair of underwear.
