There have been a few incidents where CO2 fire extinguishers have
suddenly failed due to corrosion caused by moisture in CO2, leading to
the formation of carbonic acid. See the earlier post at

Thanks

news:
India Glycols has started the service of filling CO2 fire
extinguishers ensuring quality of the filled cylinders to prevent
mositure entry. If you are interested, you may contact their marketing
