How to Refill 1lb Propane Cylinders - SAFE and LEGAL - Flame King

Спорт

Safely and Legally Refill 1lb Propane Cylinders - Flame King
As an outdoorsman I try to take care of the environment whenever possible. It bothered me that I was using disposable\one-time use 1lb Propane Cylinders for my ice fishing heater and our camp stove. So I looked into other solutions and found the Flame King Refillable Solution! My hope is that more people will create less waste and save some money while doing it!

    After watching several KZread videos I got this kit from HomeDepot, it came with 3 cans for a $63. This is defintely the safest way to refill 1 lb propane can, plus the cans are DOT approved for transportation. I use them on my new tabletop fire pit.

    Great video, I just bought a kit today that came with a cylinder and 4 extra cylinders. The kit was 64.99, and each cylinder was 19.99 ea. My oh my have prices gone up! During the last few years, they were almost impossible to find. Still very cost effective and safer, and I don't have to use the other green ones.

So easy and I don’t get propane spraying out of the valve like FK. Key is to weigh them and make sure you fill 1 lb and no more. All that wasting of propane!! Sppppppppppp Thanks for posting

    @@WhiteDogTrailCompanyI agree with ssng1, having transported propane professionally (semi, 10,000 gal. at a time) safety is paramount. Propane is so cold it can burn you if you get some of the actual liquid on your skin. A friend almost lost three fingers because a large amount of actual liquid propane got behind his gloves (third degree burns). This is what happens when you get in a hurry. Plus propane will expand as the temp rises, (hence the 80% fill rule) so keeping your 20lb-er out of the sun in the summer will help a lot. Filling them when its cold out like Mr. Dog :^) did is a very good idea. People, you might balk at the initial cost of this kit but it will pay for itself in one season, even if you spring for extra bottles if you do a lot of camping.

    The Flame King canisters are also considerably heavier duty material than the Coleman/BernzOmatic disposable canisters. Comparing empty weight, the Colemans weigh around 390g, while the Flame King canisters weigh 680g (74% heavier, meaning thicker steel and tougher connectors.) I haven't purchased a Coleman canister in years, and the investment cost (~$40 for the stand, connector, wrench, and empty canister) was easily recovered the first summer I used it, with all the camp stove and lantern uses. Now, I refill a Flame King 16.4 oz canister for approximately $0.75 ($3.20/gal propane cost, 4.7 gal to fill 20 lb tank, total cost ~$15.00, one 20 lb tank fills 20 x 1 lb canisters, so $15.00/20 = $0.75 refill cost per 1 lb canister.) That sure beats the $5.00 price per canister they wanted at a local Walmart. There is so much waste surrounding those one-time-use Coleman canisters, which are supposed to be disposed of properly, but we all know they're just getting buried in the landfill with other trash. What a waste of resources.

    Refilling the Coleman tank is safe, just use a postage scale to avoid overfilling.There's tons of videos on how to do this. And I've never met a person who can tell a refilled tank from one that wasn't refilled. Oh, ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION! Otherwise you may never be able to use another propane tank-full or empty. Nice video, I just don't want to pay this much for refills.

    I’ve had my tanks (4 of them) for probably 4 years now and they all work just like when they were brand new. I added a 5th tank this winter for ice fishing season.

    Great video. I have a question. My whole house runs on Propane. I have a 500 gal tank buried. The company ran a line to my deck so I can hook up my BBQ to it. My question is, I also have a portable Coleman BBQ that uses those 1 pound tanks. You say you need to turn the 20 gal tank upside down so the liquid goes into the the refillable cans. I obviously cannot turn any tank upside down. Can I use that adapter straight to the line that they ran and fill up those refillable tanks?

    That's a good question. I'm honestly not sure how that works. Everything I saw and the kit they provided was to put it upside down so the "liquid" flows into the small tank. Anyone else know the answer to his question?

    NO, your grill runs on vapors not on liquid, that’s why you have to turn the tank upside down that way the liquid propane flows into the 1 lb tank. If you leave the tank right side up all you get is vapor. Propane liquid will expand 270 times as it changes from a liquid state to vapor state.

    You can get a full charge by burping the small bottles with a punch or drill bit for 4-5 seconds. do it with the bottle upright, depress the valve inside the threaded nipple, then fill again with the large tank. DO THIS OUTSIDE WITH NO IGNITION SOURCES NEARBY🔥, DO NOT MESS WITH THE VALVE ON THE BOTTLE ITSELF, it's a safety blow off valve that works opposite of the main valve. only do it 2 times, and weigh the bottle. it should be between 15-16 oz net, if its a little over, bleed it down with your punch. I use these 1lb bottles with a big buddy propane furnace, and it's nice to get a full bottle run without having to get out of a nice warm sleeping bag :o)

    Interesting. I've had all 3 of mine for about a year and half with no leaking after several refills. One of the steps they mention that I didn't cover was spraying soapy water on the valve of the 1 pound canister after filling it to make sure it isn't leaking. I suppose that even if I have to replace the refillable canisters once in a while it is still way better than the one time use canisters.

The Small "Bar-B-Q" style Tank does NOT have enough Pressure to FILL the Smaller Portable Grill / Lantern Coleman Type Tank.. You will be able to Use the Smaller Tank that Fills less than Half Way, but Not for as long as a New Full Tank.
