Disposable 1 pound tanks use thinner tank metal construction and are not designed to be repeatedly refilled and are subject to failure from both overfill and overpressure. Use once and dispose. SAFE TO USE - Flame King refillable propane tanks are the only 1 lb tanks Certified by the DOT as legally and lawfully refillable and transportable. It is not safe or legal to refill and transport disposable 1 lb tanks

@nebc, that's like going to a tesla video and saying you should use high octane gas. Green is BS propoganda spewed to the sheep to get to total control of their life. Going green to them is outlawing propane or anything that allows you to be self sufficient and making you use their handy dandy electric grid that comes in extra handy for tracking and controlling all you do. Go green, yea .. thx, no thx. Next!

Great summary Bob! One thing I'd add, after starting with the 1lb green bottles and then moving to real tanks, is that the valves make a huge difference in terms of safety. I have had several of the 1lb green bottles fail to re-seal when removing them from my propex heater connection hose. The small internal stopper seems to get deformed into an "open" shape if they are left connected overnight. Once in the state, they leak propane and can not be shut off. I run a 6 lb aluminum tank on the back of the Jeep as the primary source and now, instead of the 1lb bottles, carry a 1gal tank when I feel the need for a backup source (ie: when winter snow traveling). After repeatedly dealing with the leaking green bottles, I'd not recommend them to anyone.

Thanks so much for the information, I just tried to open a 1 lb cylinder for camp stove and the propane started shooting out the top. I had to just set it down and let it drain itself. This is my first experience with using a cylinder and I didn't know what or why it was happening. I looked all around RU-vid to see if I did something wrong and came across your info. Thank you again!
@RICHat22
@RICHat22 10 месяцев назад
Same here. Which is probably why it's legal to refill, illegal to transport after. The valve in them is kind of designed for one time use. They are cheap and disposable. However, I do not know how much better the Flame Kings are that are designed to be refilled. Never tried one.

This happened to me camping once. Used green bottle 1x then disconnected after done. Heard hissing, as the valve got stuck open. Had to wait over 3 hrs till finally empty. could not break camp and leave due to the obvious safety issue of transporting.

'another Good One Bob. A trick I learned is to pour a hot coffee cup of water down the side of a propane bottle to find the level of fuel that's in it. Say the tank is half full. The hot water will heat the 'metal only-top half. The bottom half, with propane will disperse the heat. When you put your hand on the tank you will instantly feel the hot/cold difference = fuel level. keep on boondockin' 😆

another great video! I am surprised however that you didn't mention the auto changing regulators for rv's, while having 2 propane tanks is not an option for everyone, if you are in a schoolie or small cargo trailer or such then you can plan the space for them. The dual regulators are about 40ish bucks (35-55 at home depot) and make it really easy to continue using the propane when 1 tank goes empty, it automatically starts using the 2nd tank and you can fill the first then hook it back up and it will switch back when the current tank empties. Huge quality of life item - when you have the space for them!

I believe that it is only illegal to transport the green bottles *after* you have refilled it. Probably that was what you meant to say, but it wasn't completely clear.
@MetaView7
@MetaView7 Год назад
You have failed to mention two things: 1. Propane is heavier than air. If the tank leaks, or if there is unburn residue from your cooking, the gas will flow to the lowest point in your vehicle, and stays there, until a spark ignites it. 2. Propane is stored under pressure (between 100 and 200 psi). You will need a regulator to reduce the pressure to a usable state (0.5 psi). You will need a regulator either at the tank, or at the appliance. And the hoses are different.

a trick that I learned about gas is to take a little dish of water and dawn . when you hook up the bottle . you paint the connection with a small paint brush . if there is a leak. there will be bubbles if the connection leaks. just something that I learned in life.

Thanks for the tank info. Pressure regulators is the other thing we need to know about. If you buy a cheap propane camping stove, and it doesn't work, the only thing wrong with it might be the pressure regulator. Those bent brass tube things have pressure regulators in them (usually or that break) or you can get a pressure regulator attached directly to a large tank. These pressure regulators that attach to the tank come in different grades, too. You've got to get the right kind.

“I have that ability, you do not.” Had to laugh! 😝 is it that big of an explosion risk? Or is the risk of leakage? I’ve used green bottles for many years, my only issue has been a leaky hose.

To explode the propane needs to collect in an area and then be ignited. It can be a huge risk if not properly vented.

It's not hard to build an airtight box with exterior venting to safely store your propane bottle inside your rig. A hole in the floor--with screening to prevent unwanted critters from entering--will allow any propane that might leak from the bottle to escape to the outside. Propane is heavier than air, so giving it a way to exit the space as it sinks works very well. Be advised, however, that if you plan to do this you need to make sure you have a good carbon monoxide detector in your vehicle, AND have the magic power necessary to prevent disaster. Because, of course, you should never, never, NEVER store propane inside your rig. ;-)

What I've found helpful are Flame King's refillable 1 lb. propane bottles - Home Depot has sold them in the past. I'm able to carry a larger tank as well. With Flame King's refill valve kit (amazon) I can keep the 1 lb bottles filled for my Mr. Buddy heater and for the stove. Worthwhile investment for anyone concerns about using larger tanks inside. However, like you, I use a [10 lb.] tank for my one-burner dual fuel (propane/butane) stove inside my rig. I keep a couple of butane cans on hand for emergency backup if all my propane should be gone.

Hello Bob. Thanks for all your useful videos. I like the idea of the milk crate. I have like 8 of them and put car stuff in, never occurred to me use it for this. I'll copy the idea. Regarding the one pounders, I have seen the refillable kit in Amazon. It is just a frame to put the bigger lp tank upside down an maybe two refillable one pounder bottles. Maybe a hose and valve to do the job. I think these cylinder are designed to be refilled, therefore legal to be refilled. The people who don't fully refill the one pounders is because to do it, you need to open the release valve to let the air or "propane vapor" out to allow the liquid propane in. I don't know if is matter of different names for the same but I have seen tanks of 5, 7, and 11 lbs. I bought a 7 lbs and cost me like $4-$6. What do you think about the composite material tanks? They are light and translucent (you can see how much propane is left), but cost like 3x the cost of a metal one. Probably there are cheaper knockoffs, but there is a popular brand name Viking. Do you have a video about the tent you have in your background?

The refillable 1lb bottles are much nicer, have valves that don't leak, are made of much thicker metal has a bleed screw to make it easy to top off it's easy just like filling a 5lb bottle. Also legal to transport after filling it. They cost about 20 bucks per bottle and they come empty. I've been thinking about getting two for backup fuel besides burning wood and biofuel. I see branded and some unbranded bottles that probably came from the same factory they look the same.
@troytaylor1913
@troytaylor1913 11 месяцев назад
They make a tiny 1/4lb refillable with the bleed screw for backpackers. That one is about thirty bucks. Specs, it's kind of heavy compared to the small camp gas bottles because it is thick and holds propane pressures but you can put butane in it if you want.

When I first hit the road I got one of those dual (propane or butane) fuel stoves, and mainly used the 1lb bottles of Coleman propane. That worked great - and I don't use much. However, after 2 hoses leaked after short usage, I decided to give butane a go. No hose to leak. A little more expensive I think, but again, I don't use much.

I also did away with using propane for cooking. I have about four butane stoves. I only use one at a time. I have two that were never used. I like the small butane canisters and you can buy them at Sam's club and Walmart under three dollars at Walmart and just over 2.00 at Sam's but they come in a four pack. Propane stays at home for my water heater. I don't use my buddy heater anymore. Ceramic heaters are much safer and dont use much electric like 400 Watts. The oil filled radiator type heater is the safest heater but too large to carry in the car. I have three of those for home use. 73

Hello fellow, nomads, I didn’t get to read all the comments, so maybe it’s been covered but there is a company that makes refillable quality 1 pound bottles. As I understand it, it is “illegal“ and I’m safe to fill the little green bottle, although I know many who have and do. But there is a brown bottle that is supposedly heavy enough and the same size as the green one and can be reused time and time again. I have it on my list of things but it’s not my priority so I can’t tell you how they work and give them a recommendation, but I know they are out there. And I know that the green bottle has instructions that it must be disposed of, and not refilled, I understand this is primarily because some people overfill them and it’s on safe. I don’t know. I just know what I think I know. God bless all the nomads.

Great video. Sadly not all propane suppliers will fill the 5lb tanks. The size confuses many cashiers and attendants as their price sheets often start with the 10/11 lb tanks. From my experience, be prepared to pay the 10/11lb price to fill them. My last fill cost $12.99. None of my local propane suppliers will do partial refills or top-offs. One pays for a full fill whether they need it or not. Best/cheaper to run the tanks out of propane.

Hey Bob. Thanks for sharing your practical knowledge. 40 years ago I used to take my kids wilderness camping. Used propane or wood for cooking. My skills are rusty. This reminder is much needed.

Thanks Bob! I recently got the refillable kit to refill my 1 lb or my 5 lb from my 20 lb. I have 3 20 lbs I use between here at home base and on the road. Definitely helps and saves money!!

Rule #1 - Buy a propane/LP detector for RVs, then store and plumb propane appliances in your RV. Follow code for hookups.

Better to learn to live without propane. Wood is readily available, and not subject to supply side dynamics.

The highest likelihood of a leak is from the appliance or the fittings rather than the valve on a propane tank. So when you're done using a propane appliance, turn the tank off first. That releases pressure in the hose, the regulator, and the appliance. Then turn off the appliance. For extra safety, disconnect the hose from the tank, especially when driving.

Heating you van using a cookers open flame is ok for 10 minutes but unless you have a door cracked open or window, you will literally be gasping for oxygen within 20 minutes. Dizziness and black out a distinct possibility

The actual rule for transporting propane inside your vehicle is no more than 90 lbs inside and no more than 45 lbs in a single container…

Thank you for something that is probably so simple for most but for those like me this is needed and appreciated. Also not treating this topic like there is stupidity for not knowing ❤️

I'll be living and traveling in my Dodge Grand Caravan, and I plan to start with a 2-burner camp stove. I don't like the idea of carrying even a small propane canister inside the van. Can I carry it on top of the van, bungee'd to the roof rack? I can get it up against the cargo pod to stabilize it. What do you think?

Bob, I have little green bottles and would like to change over to bulk. I’m wondering if I would need a regulator or does new hose include regulator? Thanks in advance and you are my inspiration! Kenny
