Coleman 1 lbs propane tanks...

[Bisch]

I’ve refilled them with no issues. You can fill them too much though! When I did it, I used a scale and only put 1# in the bottle when filling.

Amazon sells the whole outfit to refill them, even includes a stand to put your big tank on at the correct angle. That said, how much money are you gonna save ? In the overall picture of deer hunting costs, it’s like peeing in the ocean.

I've refilled mine many times with no issues. I initially bought a hose and adaptor for a 20# one and it didn't flow correctly. I use it for a heater buddy.

Please don't pee in the ocean.

This is how I do it. Best way I found so far. It does save money. But, what I found is it really saves time. A lot of places I normally buy the 1 lb cylinders were out of them this season.

Thanks for sharing the video!!

I also use a digital food scale to weigh the tank once refilled to make sure that's it pretty close to what it would be new off the shelf (~29.2 - 29.5 oz.).

I did have a couple that I overfilled one time, and then they sat in the garage and got hot, so they ended up bulging pretty good. I bled some of the excess out and used them without issue, but I would not refill those.

I always just under fill to be on the safe side.

IMHO. Got the adapter and never used it but I've heard that you can't get near the factory charge when refilling.

You can if you do it correctly. Like the video shows.

I go to the trouble to weigh the empties before and after so that I can get a pound in there and only a pound.

[JFFB]

Been filling my own for years also know problem. You just to learn how to vent the air out of them to get a good full bottle.

Oh, and that's after I've pushed the valve open to empty the can as much as possible!

Well I have been considering this for a while now, and seems consensus is that its ok. The 1 person to mention not ok gave no specifics as to why, and I can understand why Coleman would also strongly suggest not to refill since they need to sell more. Going to get the converter from Amazon and start re-filling mine. Purely for the time savings not for the financial savings.

Coleman and Mr. Heater both make adapters specifically for refilling 1 lb bottles. Now, why would they do that? [emoji849]
