NOT The best way to Refill Green Bottles Instead use THIS! (In The Description)

[@enigmaticnomadics]

Since uploading this video, I now recommend this method instead. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ2ypHaPdp6WfcU

[@friendlytravelsp5516]

my goosh whoever your parents were or whoever raised you they sure did a damn good job. HATS OFF TO THEM

[@Garysalunatic]

Freezer method most definitely does work and it’s less work that this one. I weigh before and after and get 1lb almost exactly. Freeze small bottles and use a “donor” tank that is warm. I refill in Summer so the tank doesn’t need warming. Take only one bottle at a time from the freezer and they will fill perfectly without clumsily fiddling around with tiny relief valves.

[@garywray6081]

You are a great source for information. I knew there was a way to refill the small canisters but I wasn’t sure how. Thanks for the instructions. I will feel confident in doing it myself. I hate wasting money.

[@enigmaticnomadics]

Using hemp stats works best.

[@filoIII]

@@enigmaticnomadics You didn't explain well why to NOT use the freezer, or why not used a wooden dowel rod to relieve pressure from the main valve. Seems you'll damage that cheap relief valve over time.

[@maehay4065]

If gave you a hand cramp I can't imagine I could ever do this handy way to refill but it's still good to know just in case I may have to some day! Thank you 👍👍👍.

[@tobycarlson1640]

Just to let you know, your video is the best. Tried the other ways. Your video was the best PERIOD!

[@enigmaticnomadics]

Thanks, Toby!

[@3321MDZ]

Terrific tip. I too have watched multiple options for this and have wondered what really works. When doing it I knew the bottle was only partially filling. Thanks

[@enigmaticnomadics]

Anytime Merlin. Working on more stuff to post on the subject at some point.

[@altatude9677]

Exactly. We refill the little green bottles this way also. Two thumbs up.

[@campfire52]

Great info my friend, much appreciated. Thanks for everything that you do for us. Have a great time and safe travels.

[@pastenseverb]

Finally! Someone who knows how to fill a bottle. Thanks for posting.

[@stanw909]

Thanks. I have used the freezer method. The key is to have the big tank setting in the sun before filling the frozen bottle. The difference in temperature will cause the warmer gas ( high pressure ) to go into the frozen bottle ( low pressure ) takes just a minute. Your method is great for when the tanks are same temperature . Always enjoy your videos and your giving spirit .

[@enigmaticnomadics]

I just must not have the touch. Never had luck that way Stan. thanks for posting!

[@Rocki5pr]

That's the way I've been refilling for awhile now; ... nice to see I'm not the only one with this method

[@pjd2709]

You are awesome Jamie, I got one of these connecter last month from Wally World, although I haven't had to use it yet it's there when I do need it, because of your video I can do it myself, thank you so much for the tutorial! On the package I have it's called 'Propane Tank Refill Adapter' Refill 1lb propane cylinder, at the top right and left corners it has Mr Heater L?S and F276178 R/S cost $4.00 or $5.00 approx. Thanks again, happy trails to ya!

[@ARF.Racing]

damn, the walmart near me is selling it for 16 US dollars

[@1wolfpup]

Thanks so much! We have the adapter, but I've not been comfortable doing it because it doesn't seem to work. Relieving the air within the bottle to allow the propane makes sense! Thanks for the awesome videos.

[@enigmaticnomadics]

yep, Shannon. The curved pliers is key. Good luck!

[@williamblair3610]

Ok I try this and it worked. Thanks, I tried lots of other ways and no good. Now I can save a little more money.

[@vanstiller5219]

Superb James. I've tried the other ways to no avail. Gonna fill 4 today with this method. Once again THANX JAMES. Always helping us out.

[@deeterry580]

Thanks Jamie, I've been looking everywhere for this info!

[@enigmaticnomadics]

Use hemostats if you can. They work better!

[@delbertplouff9266]

this is how I refill the small propane bottles but I made a tool that hooks on the little valve to hold it open it makes it a lot easier to do

[@sesolar5854]

A pair of 90º locking hemostats will do the trick nicely for operating the pressure relief valve during fill. Thanks Jamie for another helpful video.

[@enigmaticnomadics]

That's a better idea than what I was using.

[@bucksmith9035]

good video good that you mentioned to open the schrader valve had a propane powered truck years ago and when filling you had to open a bleed valve to fill OR the tank would only fill to a certain level

[@roblav2180]

That was perfect timing. I was searching for the perfect way to fill green tanks. This video made you look like you have the "IT" factor! Thanks, Happy Holidays to you.

[@georgefenrich4119]

Jamie, you are the first one that I've seen pull this steam out. but like you said, it IS way full now! ! :)

[@dispartep]

The reason for the air gap is pressure. Liquid cannot be pressurised. But your are correct that is the proper way to fill bottles.

[@starttherebellion9146]

Yep, been doin it this way for years. The "shhnozzle" thing is a "mac-coupler".

[@MayhemRv]

Thanks for the tip! I didn't know about the pressure relief valve release trick.

[@patrickdyer723]

I've done it this way for a few years now and the problem I have run in to every now and then is that the pressure relief valves don't always re seat causing a small leak. The newer the tank the less chance you have of that valve not re seating. I ended up switching to the flame king refillable tanks. It's just easier and faster. You spend a few more bucks on the initial purchase but in the long run you're still saving money refilling tanks vs buying new ones and you don't lose a lb of propane here and there when the pressure relief valves don't seal.

[@nocturnal7312]

The beginning of your video remined me of the famous Billy Mays, "But Wait, There's more" !! Great video Jamie, I didn't know you could refill those small cans. Thanks !!

[@thunderbird97]

i have refilled my little green tanks probably around 15 times each and they are still doing fine, i don't pull the valve out when i fill mine, and just leave valve open on main tank 1 min

[@Hundert1]

thunderbird97 Does the little green tank still get at least 75% filled without opening the relief valve?.

[@thunderbird97]

yes, I also put little tanks in fridge for 30 mins

[@ramvanbobby3889]

[@mrbr549]

Hey Jamie, great video! I thought I had seen all the ways to refill one of those, but you just showed me a different way. Thanks!

[@drew8642]

I have worked in the hazmat compressed gas business for over a decade..A strong suggestion and words on staying safe..the company I work for had a major gas plant fire/inferno. The lesson learned was during the hottest part of the summer, about 100+ degrees, some Liquid propane and other flammable gas cylinders began spilling and venting exessive gas liquid and vapor which found an ignition source. It was deduced that they were over filled because the vent valves can wear out or fail. Now the company saftey procedure is to always, ALWAYS check the Tare weight of the bottle and only fill exactly the amount of liquid weight allowed to prevent overfilling that triggers to much venting or over flow of liquid from the valve. Also flammable gas should never be stored in an enclosed space especially in heat..example a car or trunk.

[@enigmaticnomadics]

+Drew thanks for the safety elaboraton. I might be moving to flame king 1lb refillables myself, soon.

[@PrestonGladd]

i use the freezer method and never have any issues, in fact i usually have mine get over filled and I have to watch them so they don't. But to each their own.

[@grumpy1311]

Same here, and without holding pliers for 10 min

[@Bobbo6665]

thanks for the info, bought a couple of those adapter years ago but never used them. now I know how. PS- everyone says to freeze bottle first, but your way makes more sense.

[@sam111880]

This guy is right.. I've filled propane forlift bottles.we just set them upright and when liquid came out relief valve on top it was full. Super cold...wear gloves.

[@jsavellano2]

Boom! Droppin knowledge from experience. Thats a great nugget. Thanks!

[@enigmaticnomadics]

Thanks Sea Mammal! Another tip I really like is to turn the fan all the way on, to my van heater. That way when I turn the key to roll up or down the windows, I don't leave it on by accident and drain the battery, cuz I hear the blower. Best, ~J

[@CanVanLiving]

Thanks for this! A few people sent us this link as a recommendation on how to do this. The one issue we have is that we are full-time vanliving so we don't have a place to store the "donor" tank.

[@enigmaticnomadics]

Consider getting a 11 lb tank. Smaller and more portable. I like mine cuz I can put it in a backpack and fill it on the motorcycle. See it here: amzn.to/2rlZC57

[@CanVanLiving]

Awesome to here this recommendation. That's what we had planned on doing but weren't sure because of all the 1lb refill recos. Thanks, again! :)

You show the best how to videos, you show the details so people can actually attempt the project and be successful - your refilling method is just like refilling portable oxygen bottles from a huge oxygen bottle for patients. As long as you do it outside and and follow rules, no heat, open flames, smoking, etc. I have never seen anyone have a problem, common sense just like you always show everyone. Thanks so much.

[@davidlundy5007]

The reason for chilling the bottle first is to drop the pressure with the temperature to allow for propane to move from higher pressure to the lower pressure easily without the venting of vapor. Either way looks good to me.

[@roncar1761]

Race car pit crews have been doing this for many years when they are only allow certain amount a fuel for a race. It's only illegal IF you get caught freezing you fuel tank. 😉

[@independentthinker8930]

I use hemastates. I also let a little pressure off at a time. The little valve is a pressure relief, have had them "leak" till pressure goes down to set level

[@marshallcollins8634]

Much less complicated and drawn out them the other videos I have seen on here. Thanks .

[@barrya5191]

Always be sure to weigh the tank after filling. The easy way is to keep a full tank from the store to be used as a reference. Use a 3' 1x4 resting on some sort of fulcrum. Balance it with nothing on the board. Then set both tanks on the board at once. The newly filled tank should balance with the reference tank. If too light, add more gas. If too heavy, bleed off the excess. It is important to not over fill the tanks. Early on I over filled several tanks to the point that some gas was oozing out the relief valve. The tanks ballooned over night and would no longer sit flat on the picnic table. The paint had actually crinkled on the tank. Not wanting to experience a rupture, I actually had to bleed these tanks and dispose of them. Lesson learned.The freezer method does work and that was how I over filled the tanks. Freeze them once and do the initial gas loading. You'll only get a third to half a tank. Freeze them a 2nd time and fill them more. Be careful to gage how long to leave the valve open on the 2nd fill to prevent over filling. Then use the balance method to weigh the tank until properly filled.

[@Angel-yl1ck]

I would like to add something of my own experience. We refill the little bottles too, using them in a Little Buddy. We have had two Little Buddy fires. Our first Little Buddy was bought 5 years ago. It lasted two years then had a fire flare that burned the elements and top side, from reusing green bottles. That was 2013. So we got another one with a two year warranty. That one just recently flared and ruined itself. (After three years) The only reason we could think of was that the threads on the bottles get worn after a time, and when it is loaded to the Little Buddy, if not perfectly seated, a fire results. So, we made a promise to throw out the little green bottles more regularly. Of course, it says on the bottle not to refill, but they are very expensive to replace.

[@Angel-yl1ck]

Big Biddy? Is that a spelling error? I have saved your vid. Thanks for making and posting.

[@kathrynkenyon785]

Thanks Jamie, great tutorial. Nice seeing your lovely face again. :-) Kathryn, the Transit Van Girl

[@billrundell2097]

What a great video to watch. I have used this method several times. If near an empty large tank, tip the large tank to empty all the propane out of the larger tank, When I have used this method, it took 30 seconds to fill a 16 oz cylinder. 10 minutes is not right at all. You are not pulling the vale stem out far enough to open the valve. I get a full tank weight of 30.5 oz. every time.

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Putting the 1lb. Tank in the freezer is reducing the temp. Inside to make transference of the liquid propane easier. The colder the empty tank is the faster it fills. Don't know the exact science of it but it works. I have heard both good and bad about pulling out the pop off valve. Can't say I've done enough playing around with it to offer any opinions on the matter. But everyone I've talked to is in one piece and not a ghost so I imagine it's just a matter of preference. Nice to see an actual van dweller showing this method instead of some goober in his backyard playing with some new toy he ordered off the internet. I do weigh my bottles after filling just to be sure they aren't over filled. If they are I let out some pressure to allow for heat expansion. Jamie's right about that! They do need a little wiggle room for it.

[@RG-wy1ol]

Thanks for making this video 👍 👍 I sure wished I would of watched your video before I tried to fill my green bottle.

[@BelindaForgy]

Great information and show-and-tell, as usual! I truly appreciate the detail you go to! Rock on!

[@jerrydeming4858]

Works if you are ok with 12 oz. If you use these on a buddy heater you may eventually plug the regulator. That's why we use filters with 20 lb cylinders. Crud in the tank will Get in your green bottle. Just saying.

[@enigmaticnomadics]

+Jerry Deming good point. I agree.

[@brik32544]

That is interesting. I thought the filters were mainly used in liquid-draw propane systems (used with vehicles and forklifts). In theory when you use the canister upright, you are only feeding vapour into your buddy heater so no filter should be necessary. I have found gunk in some propane and butane tanks. mainly small surface rust particles and the stenching additive that some manufacturers add (ethyl mercaptan).

[@fendert1384]

The reason for the filter is due to the inner wall of the hose breaking down over time .Mr Heater also makes a better hose that doesn't require a filter. I have one on the big buddy heater.

[@TernProp]

Yep and replace the filter every few years seems to prevent any issues

[@michaelbird6084]

Use the filter along with the shnozzle? That will keep gunk out of the green bottles but still take advantage of the cost savings from refilling the bottles.

[@Spahi77]

I bought refillable propane bottles online...they are the thick shelled ones like a heavy tank.....it's just for ease of mind....I wouldn't refill the thin walled green ones, not because it blows up, but because of no sure fire way to make sure it's properly filled or overfilled. Maybe manufacturers would get the hint, and go "green" if people started buying the heavier grade ones.

[@enigmaticnomadics]

I can dig that.

[@Penguin545]

So I do have a scale and for the record my tanks were 13 oz empty and 33 Oz with the factory fill. I wrote those weights on the box I keep my refill adaptor in for good measure. I had great success just now by freezing the empty tanks, filling for round 1, then freezing a second time and filling a second time- this got me actually overfilled a hair to 35oz. I’m not a fan of messing with the pressure relief valve because I could def see those not reseating airtight after grabbing it with pliers a few times. I just went and did some laundry while I was waiting for the tanks to chill out the second time. Shrug.

[@loveu2222]

I do a same thing many years, only difference I using a hose, much easier and safer ,thnx for a video

[@enigmaticnomadics]

What kind of hose? is it special just for this?

[@oldgriz816]

I use a pair of long straight hemostats to reach through to grab and pull the valve.

[@enigmaticnomadics]

Thats the move.

[@kolilagephart3766]

If I may can I help you save your heater. The gas you get in the bottle is clean .Because 20 lb.ers are always used upright there never cleaned.When you tip that tank vertical all the rust, scale and moisture go into the bottle then into clog orifices. Use a full tank and lay it on its side. Your method can easily over fill a bottle so I'am glad to see you weigh . Over fill a bottle and bend that relief valve and you know what you got.

[@ArkansasMike]

[@enigmaticnomadics]

See if you can use a hose also. I haven't ried it yet, but I'm told it's possible. Just has to be lower than donor tank. Good luck Wayne!

[@daveroberts6884]

Many years ago in a remote corner of Labrador I refilled 20lb tanks off of 100 lb tanks using much the same method. No relief valve but there was a bleed bolt that let the gas out while refilling. A smelly job not to be done near any source of ignition.

[@enigmaticnomadics]

I cant find all these stories of explosions from sparks i keep hearing about. Must be dozens out there? Why do i hear crickets?

[@yankeepotroast4169]

i like this method it's simple. thanks for the tip!

[@spiritnsage]

You might want to add - do this outside, no smoking, no other ignition sorce, not by the campfire.

[@enigmaticnomadics]

I mention it in the notes, but that's not enough if you didn't see it. Should mention it in the vid. Thanks.

[@davestennes305]

I had no ignition source whatsover and I burned my forearm as it lit up like a torch as I was filling. The only thing I can think of is that I was refilling on the ground and I created sparks from rubbing metal from the tank on the rocks. Total fluke. After reading the comments below, it could have been metal on metal contact from the pliers. The tool I use now is aluminum so maybe no spark.

[@loveu2222]

yeahhh,I did ones close to refer,and almost light up a forest

[@jsavellano2]

maybe static electricity sparks

[@Hundert1]

c sy Thanks for the safety tips. Safety and proper techniques always come FIRST.

[@chetgravatt9562]

Fuller equals over pressurized. ie. no expansion room.

[@iamjackalope]

Don’t use pliers like that. The chance of a spark when they slip like that is pretty good. Besides all you have to do is unsrew it a couple of turns like you would a valve stem on your car tire. It’s not only a lot safer it’s also a lot easier.

[@enigmaticnomadics]

Great idea Jack! I hate those plyers! Hemostats work too.

[@enigmaticnomadics]

Jack, for the sake of my own research, you mention that the chance of a spark when the plyers slip is pretty good. You didn't say possible, you said pretty good. I can't seem to find one single report on the web of this happening. Surely there must be several accounts of this happening and causing a disastrous result if what you are saying is true. Can you send me those links? If you can, I will take this video down. I don't want to get anyone hurt. I just need the evidence of your assertion. Thank you.

[@iamjackalope]

My comment wasn’t based on any known cases of this happening. When ever you have two ferrous metals strike each other you have a high likelihood of a spark. That’s all. It’s kind of like smoking while fueling your car. You can do it 100 times without incident then one day you go boom.

[@brik32544]

Definitely something to keep in mind. Getting a spark out of a pair of pliers gripping a valve shaft is quite difficult but maybe not impossible if it is made from steel. When you go to a refill station to fill your 10 or 20lb cylinders, the operator uses a screwdriver or a spanner to open the venting valve. The safety factor here is that the tap assemblies on all cylinders are made form BRASS and not steel. This is the same for the much more dangerous acetylene cylinders. So now the question is: Is the safety valve on a Coleman canister made from steel or a non sparking metal like aluminium or brass?

[@iamjackalope]

Its the type of thing if you where purposely trying to make a spark you probably couldn’t but then there is that one time. Just saying, why even take the risk when all you have to do is turn the valve out. Plus it’s so much easier. But yea the pental is likely made of brass.

[@lanedexter6303]

My understanding, at least here in Washington State, is that there's a federal probition on interstate commerce (the only thing the feds are really allowed to regulate) in refilled bottles. I refill 'em right at home, and don't sell 'em in other states. so no worries. :-)

They sell those special valves online at Walmart for about $14.00. Save a bunch of money and the landfills.

[@rbarbour64]

I had some one pound tanks I wanted to take the valve out of the side so I made a tool to unscrew it , worked great. I used a hole punch and cut a slit in it so it will fit on the valve. Welded a small metal handle on it. A tire valve tool will not work.

[@scottfirman]

Those valves get weak after a while on those disposable tanks after a while so it's best to throw them out if they start leaking. I once had four of the disposable bottles in my van,it got too hot and the pressure release valves went off while I was in Wal-Mart. When I activated the electric starter for the vehicle, it blew all the windows out of my van and started a fire. NEVER store the small bottles in a hot van. It's best to leave them at a camp site or something. After that, I made a bumper hitch and a storage box with lock for storing flammable stuff OUT SIDE the van. Leave them at the campground or stash them in the woods somewhere and come back for them later. Unless you want to see your vehicle blow up.

[@heathschwab]

Thanks sir. yes I go thru 12 to 16 per summer for my fishing group being we take Stove to cook and lanterns we stay 2 to 3 days every weekend all summer so I have the hose to use my 20 Pound bottle but it broke so I need to get a new one but don't alwAys want to carry the big bottle so this I need to start doing will save me Lot of money. And and the money I raise for the group don't buy Gas the little bit money buys fishing stuff to give away. So thanks for the extra and better way to fill. God bless

[@enigmaticnomadics]

Glad to hear that this was useful Heath. Also a hose can be used with the adapter as long as the green bottle is lower and the donor bottle is upside down. I should have shown that too! Have fun catching all those fish and don't forget the solar phone charger. Haha!

The freezer method mean you don't have to purge it?

@@filoIII correct! I freeze the small 1 lb tank for overnight, then have the 20 lb tank ambient temperature, or in a warmer location. Turn the larger grill tank upside down to transfer liquid rather than gas. Have to do it quickly as the smaller 1 lb tank will warm quickly in the sun and limit transfer. The cold condensed bottle will allow the warmer tank fuel to fill without purge. The trulicky part is the grill tanks have a safety feature that clicks the valve closed if too great of free flow . So the valve must be opened very slowly at first to get the transfer started. It works great

TLDNW. First 3 min could have been done in 30 sec and whole video in 5 min or less. Glad you scaled them at the end. 80% of 1LB is about 13oz so your method works great.

I’m working on condensing videos down more moving forward. I agree.
