The same size, not bigger. Also, if it isn't safe to refill them just what makes them so safe to be filled in the first place? Just how do you think it is done?We have lots of homes here heated by LP. We also have homes, kitchens, laundromats, restaurants etc with gas stoves, gas dryers etc. Servicemen such as I (yeah, ME) come and have to pipe up said systems, purge as needed, light pilots, do whatever it takes to finish the job.I'm still here, and I've never caused a fire or explosion.You guys are just playing on fear of the unknown. Sure, it helps to know what you are doing, but to blanket the topic with "Kablooey!" Barney Fife style, is just not right.
They are not meant to be RE-FILLED. Meaning the valve has a chance to not shut properly thus having 3/4lb of propane spilling into your house
I've got the one pound refill adapter as well. Not gonna say anymore
I bought a mr. heater sunflower and a 5 lb tank for $25. off craigslist.
I wish a customer service rep would chime in about refilling these 1lb. tanks. The package that I have has a picture of a 1lb being refilled by a 20lb. refill,reuse,recycle ........save the enviornment is what it says.
Well put!!!!! Been refilling foe a few years always leak check and never store them in the house or garage (coal stoves in both). Besides just about everytime I go in from fishing I usually pick up at least 1 more that somebody has left on the ice, if more people refill then there would be less trash.
I have one of those adapters, I would have no problem using it to fill a 1lber to use on a torch, lantern, small heater, or anything where I would attach the tank onto the appliance immediately. But I wouldn't ever fill a tank to use as a spare.Like it was said the valve on those tanks were made to be used once, like many things that are made to be used once then discarded. I did fill a few tanks once and had more then one leaker.There was the question asked "what made them safe the first time?", the valve came sealed, it was doing what it was designed to do, seal the bottle until the valve was opened. If the environment is the problem get a tank that has a manual valve, you'll get far more use out of it.
How about if people would just pick up there own sh*t when they are done...that would be IDEAL.
I would really like an 11# pancake style propane tank... anyone found one for cheap lately?
