What are the dimensions of a 5 gallon ball lock keg?

What are the dimensions of a 5 gallon CO2 canister? I am trying to see how much room these would take in my 2nd fridge to see if I can still use it for things other than just my keg.
 
A bare, true ball lock keg is 8.5" in diameter by 25" tall. Add an inch to allow for attached disconnects; add even more height if you want to be able to remove/attach disconnects while the keg is inside the fridge...

Cheers!
 
What he said^

As far as CO2 tanks, they don't have standard sizing, and can vary quite a bit depending on the material they're made of, and the manufacturer. They're also measured in the weight capacity, not volume. Here are some relatively common tank dimensions for aluminum tanks-
