I got a line on a free endless supply of Co2. Only catch is that it will be in those huge 250lb welding tanks. I want to know if my Nads regulator (

The pressure is the same in a 250lb bottle as it is in a 10lb bottle. Check the stats on the regulator but it is probably proofed to at least 2500psi. It should work fine.

The gauge says 2500lbs, so that is great. Once that is gone, I just bring it back to work, and then get a new one. That reg says it will work with Nitrogen, is that right?

Nitro tanks have a female thread vs a male thread on a CO2 tank. Probably wont work for N2...

If it says it will work with Nitro then you just need to purchase a new input fitting. Most reg manufactures sell them to convert from one gas to another. But depending on the pressure rating of your bottle, you can usually get beer gas filled in a CO2 tank as long as it is stamped for 1800psi.
