I've been refilling the green tanks for 9 years now and finally picked this thing up this weekend. It takes away everything that was sketchy and makes it at least feel more professional. Never felt real comfortable pulling on the valve to release air on the Coleman tanks, then when it wouldn't seat properly and youd have to flick it with your needle nose... glad those days are done.

I purchased the Fuel keg and a non-Mr. heater fill valve - that proved to be completely ineffective. I'm returning that valve to Amazon today and will receive the branded valve tomorrow. Thank you for the demo video - excellent.

Flame King also makes a refillable tank system. Main differences: 1) you need a hex key to open/close the release valve; 2) the refill kit comes with a stand that holds the 20 lb. tank high enough that you don't need to find an elevated surface to put the 20 lb. tank on; 3) the Flame King system refills a 1 lb. tank in about a minute and ten seconds, about 10-20 seconds faster than the Fuel Keg system; 4) The Flame King system uses bright green cylinders instead of black, not sure if that makes a difference with the sun. We have used the Flame King system for years without any issues. This system is interesting because it doesn't need a hex key to open/close the valve, but I like that the Flame King system uses a stand that holds the 20 lb. tank high enough that you can do the entire thing on the ground (we usually use it at the garage entrance, on the concrete. It is nice to see competition in the arena, however.

I got my Fuel Keg kit from Amazon a few days ago. Crazy simple to fill the Fuel Keg from a larger tank. Will probably buy another Fuel Keg to have 2 on hand for longer camping trips. I never knew this product existed until I saw this video, so thanks for posting!

The danger of refilling the standard 1 pounders comes about when you refill them during cold temperatures, the colder the more pronounced the problem gets. During colder temps you can fit more propane in the container, even using gravity/ unassisted filling methods. If you store these containers filled in a cold setting and move them to a warm setting the fuel will warm and expand. This expansion can deform the canister to bursting levels. I observed this with canisters filled at 20°F and stored in a location that warmed up in the spring to 50°F.

That seems worth it. Not only for long term cost but sometimes it’s tough to find the little 1lb Coleman tanks. People buy them up fast.

I bought this on a whim at Menards and I LOVE this kit. So much better than the hacky kit I originally put together.

I am going to be using this system for the first time this week. Your explanation of why the gloves are needed is noted. Thanks for the tip.

Excellent video. I purchased one of these a a number of canisters a while back and have been very happy with it. I go through quite a few of these canisters during my travel trailer living experience. My Mr Buddy heater gets a lot of use during the winter. Then my camp stove gets a lot of use year round. I find it more practical to use the one pound canisters as they tend to last for a whole week of cooking on the stove. There is no need to lug a twenty pound tank around except during refills. This product has been one of the more awesome purchases I have made.

I have seen several videos on this product and your video in my opinion has been the best with clear and concise information. Thank you!

I started refilling the fuel kegs this winter. I love them. I have about 10 of them now, so when I set up, I usually fill about 6 to 8 of them at a time. One thing that I noticed to watch for is that there is a black O ring and white nylon back up ring down in the hole of the fuel kegs. I've had these rings stick onto the filler stem a few times. Had to pull them off and put them back into the fuel keg. After watching a video one time where the creator cut apart the disposable one pounder, then cut apart a fuel keg, I decided then that I would NEVER refill a disposable one pounder. The difference in is astounding

[cbdyna]

Thank you for the video. Wouldve never guessed you could fill these little tanks until 100 percent filled.

[Billbobaker]

I still refill them (the ones from Walmart etc.) all the time best bang for the buck ever hundreds of times and they work flawlessly.

[Sourpusscandy]

I got the kit for use with a power outage, you did a great job demonstrating the use.

[maxsands]

I cook or heat up my lunch on the road every day, been using a 20 pounder with adapter for years . This will be awesome the bulky 20 pounder can stay at home instead of the back of my truck! I'll be using my trusty single burner on little tank.

[dwizard]

After seeing your video, I already have the Flame King System and just ordered another tank from Fuel Keg to try the tank out. Good system.

[savageerrol]

Coleman tanks have that valve too. Little hole. Get a screwdriver and cut a slot in it to open valve. Then you can fill them quicker also

[henrymorgan]

With the Coleman one pounders at $5+, and if you use them a lot, it's a no brainer. I have the Flame King version and it works great. Need the small allen wrench, but really the same theory. I don't blow that much propane when filling. Sputtering to me is "full" enough. That steady stream is just waste. Great video!

[TofuInc]

I've just been "burping" the fuel keg with the purge valve instead of leaving it open the entire time. Doesn't seem to be any slower. The extra $$$ for the fuel keg + refill adapter is totally worth it for me. I always have trouble with the regular 1lb cylinders leaking after filling them. That plus the heavy gauge material of the fuel keg just instills more confidence when carrying them around.

Thank you for your video as this is a safe way to do this. I bought a 1 gal lp tank and the nose to attach a standard lp tank to devices using these one pound tanks. The on gal tank is small and easy to handle and you don't mess with filling tanks. My one gal tanks last about 4 or 5 coleman green tanks in actual usage.
