It sounds very logical and safe. I don't understand why there is so much issue... Especially bottle to bottle, as pressers should be the same

Excellent video, just ordered a UK POL to POL hose £16.50! Gonna fill 3.9kg from 13kg donor bottle. Works out half the price, cause here in England gas is expensive and even more expensive (double the price) for the smaller camping convenient size. I’ll be safe and weigh the bottle going slowly and staying way back from the 80% level.

I do this for my smaller bottles. I have copper tubing instead of a rubber hose. I decant on the back lawn so any escaped gas or liquid will disperse on the grass. Propane is heavier than air, and if doing in the garage, has the possibility of gas seeping in gaps and crevices. I use an electricians screwdriver as it is plastic coated and minimises any risk of a spark. I have never had an issue decanting.

Brilliant! Never knew how easy that could be, with a little common sense. Around here it costs $25 now to fill up the small ones. Would love to save some $$!

You don’t need to weigh. Once you’ve opened donor cylinder and receiver cylinder you then open The fixed level gauge with a flat head screwdriver to release vapour and allow proper transfer of liquid. Once the vapour turns to a white mist close the fixed level gauge first, then close cylinder main valve and donor main valve. Once you’ve got a constant white mist flow from the fixed level gauge you’ve achieved approx 80% liquid fill and leaving 20% for vapour. No bbq shops or servos ever weigh cylinders. Make sure the cylinder is not over 10 years old

Lyk na 'n bakgat idee!

Isn't there a air release valve on the target cylinder that you need to unscrew? That lets all the air out. Then when it spits white cloud LPG, you just close the valve and it's full!

what happens if its overfilled?

Good video. How does the air get out of the "empty" receiver cylinder as you refill it? Thanks

This is how I fill mine. Saves lots of money.

Forget the "Hot bottle and Cold bottle stuff, The receiving bottle will automatically be cooled by the incoming gas. What about opening the Bleed screw on the receiving bottle? that's what it is there for. Also on the safety side of things, If you value your gift of sight, you should wear safety glasses (and long sleeves) in case that hose clamp (on the home made hose) comes loose and you get an eye full of cold Propane. .

Where do you get the fittings?

Should measure using a scale. If over fill it could explode. Need expansion area left in tank 😊😊👍

Good

Can you refill gas cylinder from the pipe that supplies gas to the cooker.

👏🏻👏🏻👍

Fabbo ..😁

You didn't open the bleeder

Just tried this but no gas flowing. It comes out of the hose but not into the cylinder.

This is super dangerous,over fill it,and the Pressure relief valve could go off,once the bottle warms up.Weigh it but to what weight,the bottle will have Tare and Water content stamped on it,probably not LPG weight.Test date also needs to be checked.

It's illegal to do here due to the risks of explosion. Same reason it0s illegal to drive without a license I suppose

Please use common sense if possible?????? is that a hose clip you are using on a high pressure hose????
