You only need 8 to 10 PSI, not 1500
Maybe if you were trying to draw more then an incredibly small fraction of the C02 cylinders pressure having it at 40 degrees would effect, but it doesn't when you are drawing max 10 PSI.

One 5 lbs tank lasts about 10 to 12 kegs and it costs about $12.00 for 5 lbs.... I don't see it as an issue and like I say all the kegerators have an inside storage mount, it would A) look like **** on the outside and you would have to drill and insulate a 3/4 inch diameter hole in and out of the fridge, my guess is the loss in cooling would be more expensive.
Plus if the keg is at 40 and the bottle at whatever, the c02 must enter the keg before it hits the cup, so it will drop to 40. Basically if the temp decreased the gas mass, it would do it whether before inside or out, it's all relative. I would guess.

when i used to work at a bar everytime the tank ran out and you put a fresh one on we wasted alot of beer because the air in the lines. made the beer all foam.
thats valuble beer i dont like to waste.
just trying to help
more air = less changeing tanks = more BEER = drunken rampage
