Little buddy on 5lb tank

(1/3) > >>

Fishin fan:
So after 10 yrs of struggling with frozen hose on my regular buddy I decided to try and attach a little buddy to a 5lb tank. After many searches online, mostly on ice shanty, I came upon this made by Mr. Heater. Now it was a little low to the flange that protects the valve and I didn’t have a brass female to male extender so I just used my buddy filter to gain the extra height to clear the flange. I know u don’t need it for filter purposes but it fit the bill as an extension. Hope this helps anyone looking to do similar. As an aside I filled 1 tank and topped off another for $5. 1 little green bomb is about $8 in Ontario. Those tanks pay for themselves many times over.

Nice idea!  Currently using portable buddy with 5 or 10 lb tanks, plus the hose. This looks a lot easier and less gear to haul.

bought my hose adapter yesterday... the filter is brilliant.

wolverine:
Looks great. How tipsy is it when tank is low?

Fishin fan:
I installed it on a tank that was almost empty. It’s fine for not tipping. The empty tank weighs over 8lbs alone. I also turned it another 180 degrees so it now is more centred over the tank.
