Can I?

According to my brother, I can order a CO2 tank for "rent" - the tall cylendars (about as tall as me) and have it stored in my garage. It would cost about 46 dollars, and from there, I would simply pay 46 to have it "replaced" when I emptied it. I wouldn't be paying ownership, just sort of rentership. Anyway..
I'm wondering, if there is a way to transfer CO2 from one of those tanks to a Powertank to refill it once it became empty.

Is this possible?

depends on the tank you rent. it can fill smaller tanks but would have to be either one with a pick up tube or you would need to invert it to get the liquid to transfer.

you would also always leave some in the bug tank as the presure became equal

You would need to rent a siphon tank. The same setup they use for paintball. You can cheat a bit and put the smaller tank in the freezer which will help it pull more liquid, but you still won't get a complete fill without a professional system. The question is how many fills can you get and how full will you get the bottle... You do, however, get the added bonus of something to run air tools at home with.
