  Uhhh, no.  The cylinders contain CO2.  The CO2 is routed to two
places...the input of a carbonator (which takes CO2 and plain water
in, and spits carbonated water out, looks like a pump with a big
motor) and the syrup pumps.  The CO2 carbonates the water powers the
syrup pumps to pump the syrup from the bags-in-boxes to the soda
heads.
