How to Refill an Aerosol Spray Can (Like Carb Cleaner, WD40, etc)

This is how I recharge my aerosol spray cans such as wd40, carb cleaner, pb blaster, etc. A lot of times the air leaks out over time or you use half of the can but the propellant gets used up and you have to throw away the can. I go over two methods to refill the propellant in aerosol cans so you can save money!

Just to let anyone know. You don't have to depress the nozzle on the can. It works much like a check valve. Air goes in, not out, "unless it leaks". Just place the valve stem over the nozzle tightly. It will work every time. Been doing his for 20 years. (note) I always use a rubber valve stem. Much safer then any other way.

Quick tip, butane refill cans come with various tips. There is a fat one that makes the valve stem one work better.

@jkmacgyver 2 жыл бұрын

Speaking of butane... that would be a much better propellant than air. Most cans are pressurized by CO2/R-152/R-134a or N-Butane.. then you don't have to worry much about loosing psi or inconsistent stream (except CO2 which I've only seen in WD-40 cans)

@jordanshea1170 Ай бұрын

Many cleaning products and maybe even penitrating lubes are reactive to air.. OXIDATIVE. Usually charged with propane/butane propellants⚠️🔥 Adding air in a can of cleaning product might make its ingredients less effective.

I have done that many times in the past. Works very well. When I do it, I attach a very small piece of vinyl tubing to the air nozzle, then slide the tubing over the tube sticking up on the can, then press down to fill. No Mess.

Hi Chris, This is a great idea. A few years ago, I got tired of buying compressed air (computer "duster") at almost $6 per can. I went to discount tire and told them what I was trying to do and they gave me a new valve stem for free. I drilled a small-ish hole in the bottom of an old empty can. (That was the flatest spot, but I can't set the can down properly anymore.) I squeezed the valve stem in and added high pressure epoxy sealant, (made for radiator repair) to bond the rubber to the metal. I've been using it for years at work for cleaning computers and other electronics. It doesn't last as long as a store bought can of duster, but with free refills for life I've probably saved over a $1,000 already. Thanks for the great video!

I purchased an air duster can pre-made like that about 15 years ago! It even came with a small bike pump. I hope that money went into your pocket! Still have it, just to lazy to pump it. LoL!

@timbrown9077 3 жыл бұрын

Don't cut the valve stem so that it doesn't push the spray can straw down. Just hold the valve stem tight to make a seal on the can. The air pressure will still fill the can without pushing down the spray nozzle. Less messy. Or, like someone else said, hold the can upside down.

@jamesconroy7030 3 жыл бұрын

At the bicycle shop I used to work at, they had a bunch of aerosol cans that had been drilled on the bottom, and a tire valve soldered into the hole. You could remove the valve core, and refill the liquid too.

Another idea if you dont have a compressor or you're worried about safety is to make sure theres zero pressure in your full can and then just pierce a hole in the can and use the liquid inside, you can do this with any aerosol like we do in industrial shops. Brake cleaner and degreaser and carb cleaner all come in big unpressurized drums. The mechanics then fill those plastic pump bottles with with brake cleaner etc and have a spray. So get yourself a pump bottle and just fill it with any flat cans you have

Many years ago I modified an empty air can so I could refill it using a bicycle pump. I drilled a small hole near the bottom. Then I glued on an old inner tube valve and secured it with a hose clamp. Then it's just a little work with a pump every time I need some compressed air. Probably had it for more than 10 years now. :O)

Just a word of caution Chris. Use a small plastic tube, such as Tygon to connect the air nozzle to the can instead of your fingers. It works great and eliminates the "fiddling" aspect of trying to hold the two with your fingers. But more important than that, is that you avoid the risk of pressurized air entering your blood vessels and causing an embolism. It is very dangerous to put pressurized air against your skin, and many people have died doing so. Air gets forced through your skin and enters your blood vessel where it then travels in seconds to your heart. Once air enters your heart it takes away your hearts ability to pump blood due to a vapor lock type of situation. If it doesn't hit your heart, then it can also enter your brain and create dead zones where blood no longer can flow properly, and of course then, you're having a stroke. At minimum, when I'm doing something like what you were doing, I wear rubber gloves, but I'm just to paranoid to trust that, so I just come up with methods that don't involve compressed air against my skin. The risk also goes up when there is liquid involved, such as that coming out of the can, because then there can be a better seal against your skin. Thanks for your great videos. I'm enjoying an evening of watching your tutorials on how to maintain my van.

Caution: I've done it and it works but don't go and use air filled can for a torch (as some of us are occasionally prone to doing w paint or penetrating oil, etc., lol) slight chance of serious explosion since there is no longer inert gas propellant in the can but air with oxygen. Chances are it won't back up inside the can but you don't want to be wrong about that.

Does that actually work? I'd think it would be difficult to overcome the gas pressure inside the can. I suspect though that there probably isn't any additional danger in pumping air into the can. Spray cans become a fire hazard if you heat it up or rupture it. Either way putting some oxygen inside the can doesn't seem likely to make much difference.

Thank you That’s a great idea 💡 Every spray bottle has a straw inside gos all the way down if you flip the spray Bottle upside down while your pumping the air no liquid is going to go out ... 😊 so beautiful channel I watch your videos all the time thanks again

Seems especially prevalent with wd40, ton of liquid slosh, its weird because other things like shaving cream seem to empty to the last drop.

I have a propane can for lighters that have some kinda rubber pieces to fit into different lighters valves, I think this might help fitting the can with compressor's nozzle.

Hell yeah it was helpful, sometimes I puncture the can to drain the liquid to a refillable container but this is much more efficient, thanks. Quick, simple and BTW again great production values, IMHO. Lawson di Ranom Canyon

If you turn the can upside down, you won't have to worry about liquid shooting out.

That's what I wanted to say, turn it upside down to limit loss of product. Found this video a day late and a dollar short, just threw away a can of WD40. I'm a chicken, after I found the actual pressure, I'd do like this video, at least 20% below the stated pressure, maybe less.

Compared to other tutorial videos that I watched about this type of tutorial, I think you're the only one that doesn't have to drill a hole at the bottom or on the side of the aerosol spray can so you can insert a valve stem and use an epoxy to seal the gaps and keep the valve stem in place....good tutorial. I actually gonna try this...with a bike pump.

@vtxdaryl 2 жыл бұрын

Glad I watched this, I tried it without flattening the valve stem and couldn’t get it to work. Now I know the right way to do it but now I have to order another valve stem from Amazon. Thanks

I had this happen recently to two large WD-40 cans, they were completely out of the air and 95-100% full of fluid. I wasn't going to waste the fluid so I just stabbed the side of the can with a sharp, pointy knife and just pours it where it was needed. I like your trick with the air compressor, I've never seen that done before. If it happens to me again (which is more than likely with some product) I'll fill my compressor to do it if the spray function is definitely needed. With the WD-40 last time, it actually worked out that the air ran out as I wanted to soak some parts in the solution for a few hours anyway :)
