Thank you all for the comments, suggestions and concern.. It was not a refilled tank probably just ice on the threads or the valve causing the leak when screwing it on. Not going to lie I replaced tanks in the hut before due to complete laziness. Never ever again and sounds like a few others learned from my experience. My hut is a large Eskimo pop up. The heat from that fire ball melting all my lines lying on the ice on the other end of the hut was insane.
WARNINGWARNING: Always inspect propane cylinder and heater propane connections for damage, dirt, and debris before attaching propane cylinder. Do not use if head of cylinder is damaged, punctured or deteriorated.ALWAYS ATTACH OR DETACH CYLINDER OUTDOORS AWAY FROM FLAMES, OTHER IGNITION SOURCES, AND ONLY WHEN HEATER IS COOL TO TOUCH.

I was just thinking if that could happen with my Coleman propane lantern or my Eskimo propane ice auger.?The lantern exploding with that glass globe could be real bad news. I use the lantern for night fishing all year long and camping in the summer...what do you guy's think ?
Yo choo choo, How are you doing bud? About the lantern, I traded mine in 2 years ago and got a Maxxion head gear light. It has a lithium battery which is rechargeable. With a lithium battery you are not exactly out of the woods safety wise. To date the head mounted light has been a great blessing for hands off mobility for night fishing from shore and in a dark flip as well. Hope we can get together this ice season. let me know your next time up my friend. Boggey
