1LB EMPTY Propane Cylinder Tank – Refillable – Reusable – Safe and Legal Refill Option – DOT Compliant – 16.4 oz for Camping, Backpacking, and Hiking (2-Pack), Green (YSN164-2)

If you have been refilling the off-the-shelf 1-lb. propane tanks, then this product is for you. Why? Because refilling the single-use tanks is dangerous for three reasons: 1. The metal used to make the single-use tanks is thin. These cannot withstand the stress of pressurizing and depressurizing in repeated cycles. Sure, it may work a few times, but how many times before it decides to fail? 2. The bleeder valve on the single use tanks needs to be pulled with a needle-nose pliers. Sometimes these pull out completely and then the valve is open and the tank is trash. Sometimes these fail to re-seal and propane just slowly leaks out (check for bubbles with soap). This is why you should avoid storing these inside if possible. 3. ALWAYS check the top to make sure the internal rubber ring is installed and intact. If not, the liquid propane will gush out when you try to attach the tank to a valve. If there's a open flame or spark nearby, you will be engulfed in fire. I suspect that the rubber ring in the single-use tanks is not meant for long life and will eventually fall out. It happened to me and I lived through this exact scenario. It's just not worth the risk anymore. This is very EASY to refill thanks to a bleeder valve accessible with an Allen key. If you don't have tools and can't keep track of a standard Allen key, then go buy the Fuel Keg. Same idea but no tools required; you just pull a ring to open the bleeder valve. However, I prefer the security of a bleeder valve that cannot be opened that easily (and I have a toolbox with more Allen keys). You could also get creative and put a small hole in the outside ring of the plastic storage cap where you can store the Allen key. Or a tiny neodymium magnet on the side of the tank could hold your key. Some have said that the tank ring on the bottom/base is not right and the tank wobbles, you have a point! One of my two tanks came like this too. The tank bottom is touching my bench before the ring, thereby allowing the tank to spin or wobble. All they have to do is manufacture the ring ever so slightly wider/taller. Flame King sent me a new tank because of this defect, and they acknowledged that this might be an issue on some of their tanks. The new tank was fine. There are some one star complaints because these arrive with no propane inside. These are empty tanks meant for re-filling. It should be abundantly obvious these cannot be shipped with propane inside. Many are complaining they can't find a place to fill these tanks: kudos; it’s good when one knows their limitations, but this tank is meant for the more advanced do-it-yourself person! You either purchase the refill kit or make your own refill adapter. Then you can refill this using a 20-lb. propane tank from your BBQ, which IS a size that can be refilled or exchanged by your local dealer. If you don't have a 20-lb. propane tank or you have no clue how to handle propane tanks, then a refillable 1-lb. propane tank might not be a safe or viable option for you. Finally, you do NOT need the official Flame King refill adapter kit! You can buy brass propane fittings, brass pipe nipples, and a brass ball valve to make your own refill adapter. My DIY refill adapter works fine with these tanks. Fittings and valves; this is pretty basic standardized stuff. These are functionally no different than any other 1-lb. tank albeit easier to refill thanks to the convenient bleeder. Flame King is good quality and great customer service. Highly recommend.

As an experienced camper, I recently stumbled upon this gem of a product, and it has undoubtedly made my camping experiences more enjoyable than ever before.

They exude durability and reliability, ensuring that you won't have to deal with leakage issues or any safety concerns while enjoying your camping trip. Speaking of safety, using these refillable tanks also saves you from the risk of facing DOT fines associated with standard one-time use cylinders, making it an eco-friendly choice that aligns perfectly with my values. One of the standout features of this product is the ease of use during refilling. It's a breeze to refill them, and it's reassuring to know that I can refill them myself rather than being limited to disposable options. Not only does this contribute to a cleaner environment by reducing waste, but it also saves a considerable amount of money in the long run. With each refill, I estimate saving around $4.50, and it adds up significantly over time. These tanks are a perfect match for my camping lifestyle. Their compact size and portability make them ideal for overnight trips lasting 2 to 3 days. Unlike larger tanks that I used to carry around, I no longer worry about wasting gas because these 1lb tanks are perfectly sized for my needs. Additionally, they are easy to transport, and I appreciate the thoughtfulness in providing a small allen key for adjusting the vent, ensuring optimal performance. In conclusion, this product has earned its spot as an essential addition to my camping gear. The fast and easy filling process is a game-changer, and I can't stress enough how much I value its eco-friendliness and cost-saving benefits. As a seasoned camper, I wholeheartedly recommend these 1lb camping tanks to anyone looking for a reliable, safe, and sustainable solution for their outdoor adventures. It has truly enhanced my camping experience, and I'm confident it will do the same for you. Five stars without a doubt!

Ambos cilindros llegaron en buen estado; unos pequeños detalles de pintura, pero bastaste bien en general. Y lo más importante: las roscas, impecables. Tambien los pude rellenar con un adaptador sencillo que tenia desde antes, pero creo que si voy a acabar comprando su sistema porque me parece mas practico, además asi va quedar en una sola operación. En cambio, con el adaptador sencillo que tengo ahorita, tienes que rellenarlo en varios pasos porque el tanque chicho esta horizontal y tienes que dejar escapar el exceso de presión paso a paso, desenroscándolo a cada vez. Por último, encontré un acomodo practico para la llave de válvula incluida haciendo 2 pequeños hoyos en la tapa plástica. Les adjunto una foto por si les sirve.

Really nice quality well made , well designed item very cost effective and make running items that use these a lot more economical

Best system for your SAFETY and PIECE OF MIND. A little pricy for initial investment, but well worth it. You can now legally cross boarders and transport LG propane because of the design and how these canisters are manufactured. Easy to use, and much safer than trying to play with a valve that’s not suppose to be tampered with to fill those “other” tanks. In my opinion, there’s no comparison.

YouTubeで見つけて、私の使い方に合うようなので購入しました。 プロパンガスを取扱うので、それなりの経験というか注意が必要です。 実際、初め2本中1本は漏れて焦りました。(大丈夫でした。) 素人向けの商品ではありません。 海外から届きます。 商品は到着しているのに、「配達中」になったままです。

El que son recargables lo hace más eficiente y ahorrativo
