Risks of CO2 on Board
I'm thinking about buying a soda machine to make my own tonic water on board (and cola, etc.).

Got me thinking about whether it is dangerous to keep CO2 on board.

I believe fairly modest concentrations of CO2 can kill by asphyxiation.

And as everyone knows, CO2 is quite heavy, so will collect in a boat hull like propane does.

What think ye?
