Refill 1 Lb Propane Clinders Best Way 

Hey, glad to hear it. Have a good day.

Good explanations on doing this correctly. I would caution folks doing this to wear gloves at any time you are removing threaded stuff from an LPG tank....or risk getting burned.

You can get a hose assembly that makes the refill much easier.

Great instructions, I actually don't bleed off the 1lb tank, but will now, as to maximize the fill. And you should let people know how long you put the 1lb tank into the freezer. I usually do it over night, but I am sure at least an hour or so would be sufficient.

Really good instruction good oration , subscribed.

Thank you for your comment. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.

Hope to hear your REPLY / INFO / THOUGHTS. Mtn Mel - Deweese.

As a Ret 59-82 Ret . USN Para - Rigger / SERE- P.O.W. Inst / VN Solo Advisor ., I have a few questions ----What exactly can GO WRONG ? What MISTAKES be possible and would create a problem ? Of course basic - simple safety rules MUST BE followed. Mtn Me & Aussie Molly Bluel - Deweese, tipi camp W. Colorado. Note - I like to keep " caps on the end of O2 hoses , etc. as not to collect any dust , etc . About USS Ranger 1963 , we has a small explosion with an O2 hose , due to dust from sanding bulkheads in wirk area, settled in hoses. When used , the dust seemed to be the fuel - the 02 moving through the hose = friction and BAM , blow hoses ! No injuries , Amen. Yrs later , 1968, I was shown my first " Fire Piston " by a Negritio in a P.I. village . Very UNIQUE. Fire made by compression ! Think about it .

Thank you Dr. Joe. I am deathly afraid of overfilling the one-pound cylinders. I noticed a small valve on the tops of the 1 lb cylinders, is that a pressure relief valve ? There is also a way to fill the twenty-pound cylinders from the BIG LP tanks that people use for heat. How convenient that would be, I can't believe it would be much more complicated than your demonstration. Thanks again.

Good video, thanks...... uthowlong does it take ti fill the 1pound cylinder, approximately

I tried refilling my tanks.. but they didn’t fill very full.. so.. I discovered the while attempting to refill, if you pull up on the little relief valve and let it fill until the propane starts to come out, you get a complete refill…

How much time did you lefted un the freezer ?

No need to purge the air out?

I have a vacuuming pump HVAC. If only there was a way to pull a vacuum on these little one pound bottles, refills would be 100 percent

how long do you leave it in the freezer?

Can it explode or can't you put enough in the small bottle to cause an explosion?

wasn't this done 10 days ago?

As shown, do all this indoors as to expedite your removal from the gene pool.

Great video, thank you! I am considering doing this in the event of a natural disaster, but I am wondering what would happen if I were to try and do this without the freezer step. Would it make refilling the 1 pound cylinders more dangerous? Thank you!

You are using the adjustable wrench backwards.

do u know how dangerous this is

no audio

I just don't inderstand how you guys on yt weigh things. I weighed a full thank and it was over 40 pounds.

Dear Dr. Joe Do not do this operation inside

I'm trying it. Cross you fingers

The one pound canisters are well over built. The procedure used to refill the bottles is low risk in my opinion. The pressure in the 20lb tank as well as the 1 pound canisters is low. The tank structures can likely take thousands of pressure cycles. Look up the fatigue life of carbon steel. Everyone needs to assess their risk level and make their own choice.

This is absolutely STUPID to attempt to do and save a few pennies! These 1 lb bottles are NOT designed to be refilled and pressure cycled!!! This is a perfect case where people are playing with fire and danger and they don't even realize it and completely disregard the warning manufacturers have posted on these propane bottles!!!
