Does it matter if I put my CO2 tank inside or outside of the refrigerator?

No, not really. Most people store the CO2 tank inside the refrigerator. We will make a few notes: When a tank is placed in the refrigerator the pressure on your regulator will slightly drop because of the decrease in temperature and subsequent compression of the liquid inside the tank. Also, steel tanks when exposed the moisture inside a refrigerator have a great tendency to rust if any paint is missing from the tank. This usually happens on the bottom of the tank and can possibly result in rust rings where the tank sat on the bottom of your refrigerator. When adjusting a cold regulator, the regulator does not reach equalibrium until a few hours have passed. So if it is at 8PSI and you want to go to 10 PSI move the adjuster a small amount and wait a couple of hours till you decide if you hit the correct temperature.
