    Coleman 1 lbs propane tanks...

    ...is it safe to refill them?

    Neighbor said they are not meant to be refilled. If you do, they degrade and can explode. He cited a news article that he said he read where one exploded and killed a lady.

    What say the green screen?

    For the record, they do make one refillable.

    They are not meant to be refilled! Do not do it, they are not built for it.

      I refill mine. If they get overfilled and the metal bulges, or if they’re rusted up, I’ll throw them out.

        I've refilled them for years. No issues. I still have majority of my fingers.

          Do you hunt primarily out of 1 stand? If so, why not upgrade to a 20lb Bottle?

            I refill mine . I use them for lanterns and cooking not a buddy heater.. they have a Prv on them. I've never looked into what the pressure rating is . I wouldn't full a bulging or damaged tank

                They can be refilled, not recommended and to my understanding you are legally not supposed to transport one that has been refilled. Not sure how they would be able to tell if they checked out on the road?

                  That’s what I did and a whole lot cheaper

                    Same here, not one issue ever.
                    You can’t over fill them either.

                            What exactly are 1lb Colemans lacking that re-fillable tanks have?
