I bought one of the adapters at Tractor Supply and tried filling some 1 pounders but they all leaked out when I unscrewed them from it. Anyone else have this problem?
They are completely leaking out. The valve must be sticking. Maybe because my 20 pounder is outside in the cold? I read back a few pages to try tapping them on a board to get it to seal. I'll try that.
Slightly different train of thought, buy a 5lb tank, get it filled at Costco for $3.45, no mess no fuss. Maybe keep one 1lb as a backup and not use it unless absolutely necessary. No need to buy any adapters or take a chance of a 1lb tank venting(maybe in the trunk of the car as you're rolling down the road. Sooner or later the 1lb tank valves go bad, so then you need to buy another and another, etc, that after 8 or so 1 lb tanks adds up to a brand new 5lb tank. A 5lb tank good for 10 years.
Comes down to...sacred, don't refill...not sacred, refill. I'm not sacred. Btw I have a Dyna Glow...I think, and it only won't work when it gets all full of snow.
Here is what can happen when you don't know what you are doing with propane! (Image removed from quote.) The cylinder (the one in pieces) was over filled by an untrained individual. Luckily no one was injured!
Hearsay until you provide a link. Considering you stole it from the site and uploaded it to your photobucket account does not make it real. "Edit: Ok, it's a scan"All I see is a metal recycling platform next to a dumpster with a few physically damaged cylinders and some other metal sheets, screening and angle iron. No evidence of an explosion or fire, it's someone's trash pile. Maybe something crushed those other bottles but at least tell us the story. Where, when, etc...
Gasman,I apologize for my grammar. It was a poor choice of words. I was having an all thumbs moment and could not spell 'plagiarize' correctly in it's reference to using a picture gathered from the www so I wrote 'stole' instead. There was no harm intended your way.I did not mean to infer you were a thief.
time to bump this back to the top for the propane augers!!!
As of yet no one has been able to come up with anything except "it's not illegal to fill them just can't sell or transport in commerce", And I've proved this wrong also!
