Cut the loose end that will thread through the buckle at a 45 degree angle instead of straight across. It makes it much easier to thread.

Good video thanks.Wish it was still that price.

Incorrect in general the mark on the top , say 33.4 is the tare weight of the bottle. Has nothing to do with the capacity in litres. For example....On filling an empty bottle it will hold say 19kg of gas plus the weight of bottle at 33.4 weight full 52.4. Do not get confused. Right to say do not fill past 80%. Be very careful and overfilled propane cylinder may deliver liquid gas and be very dangerous.

You didn't use the Ullage bleed valve !!!!! its dangerous what you are telling people this is the issue with You Tube a little knowledge is more dangerous than none as it gives confidence without knowing all the information! First off it can be perfectly safe to refill gas cylinders but know what you are doing, i am not going to tell anyone how to fill there bottle but will state that the ullage valve, thats the little hole you see on the lower side of the Tap controler at 0.49 this is to be undone to allow liquid to escape once gas is evident from the Ullage Valve then the bottle will be at 80% as the ullage valve has a tube down to the 80% level. You cant just fill using the pump as a guide as you have no idea of residual liquid in the tank! People don't confuse a regular cylinder with a gaslow refillable a gaslow refillable has its own shutoff valve so stops you overfilling it! (gas experience of 35 Years)

Absolute joke this, the Garage has an adapter, and then when he’s filling it and empty he’s recording it with presumably with his phone he’s not even earthed the cylinder either, pleb Flogas would love to see there branding all in this 7mins of lunacy 🙄🙄🙄🙄

That's a flogas bottle it's a rented bottle and it's illegal to fill it at a pump .it's regarded as theft .but the video is good I learned from it so thank you. If you try to fill it the cashier will hit the red button to stop and hope she/he doesn't report you or you may be prosecuted

He's been doing it for ten years but still don't know how much to put into a standard bottle Way he's breathing sounds like he sucked on to much lpg

Wonder what dude punched to bust his hand? + nice nose breathing. LOLS. ~ Brian

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNWJh6Wcyb_Xqo0.html my flight takeoff. A350 not Finnair.

You said 67ltrs maximum in that bottle, then you put over 70 ltrs in. ? Also you fitted the adapter 'hand tight' with an adjustable spanner

Hand tight with a spanner😂 hows that work

What petrol station did you do that in because they won't let me in my local petrol station in Drogheda

Dangerous and illegal. Both parties are committing a criminal offence.

Calor Gas Limited has issued a safety warning following reports of unlawful and dangerous filling of its portable LPG cylinders at self-service autogas refuelling sites. Calor has become aware of increasing numbers of people using adaptors to fill LPG cylinders from autogas dispensers. This practice is not only unlawful but also highly dangerous as there is a strong probability of leaks occurring and cylinders being overfilled. The filling of LPG cylinders is potentially an extremely hazardous activity, and safe filling requires appropriate expertise and training of operators, use of certified equipment, safe working procedures and a safe environment. Automotive LPG filling stations incorporate safety measures to ensure the safe refuelling of vehicles but they do not include all of the necessary safety elements required for filling LPG cylinders. Furthermore, commercial LPG is supplied in two forms - propane and butane - and filling a cylinder with the wrong type of LPG can lead to serious appliance malfunction and can cause safety devices to fail. Members of the public who refill LPG cylinders using autogas refuelling equipment not only create a serious risk to their own safety and the safety of others, but are also contravening UK Health and Safety Regulations, Weights and Measures Regulations and Consumer Safety legislation. These Regulations impose important legal duties on the site operator to ensure the safety of both their employees and members of the public. In the event of an accident as a result of this type of activity, the site operator could be liable to prosecution. Calor is therefore urging autogas refuelling site operators to be vigilant and take appropriate action to prevent the unlawful and potentially dangerous re-filling cylinders in this manner.

Wow good video wear can I get one of them kits from

how did you stop that pump

i thought there was a safety valve!!!

I was going to make a few sarcastic comments but they’ve already been covered. Oh well. You’ve filmed yourself breaking the law. What the fuck are you doing with a mobile phone anywhere near a petrol station ? I’ve been doing this ten years. This end, no this end. Hand tight, with a spanner. Stamped weight is tare (empty) weight, not capacity, and definitely not how much gas was put in it last time” there’s a big fucking clue on the bottle telling you what the capacity is. And lastly, 5 years ago it was cheaper to get an exchange bottle delivered than what you paid for the gas, the adapters and the fuel you used getting there and back. No image of your vehicle but I hope you transported the bottle standing up and secured. If you’re going to fill your own bottles, do it at home where you won’t kill anyone else if it goes tits up.

how can i do this for Portuguese gas canisters? There are so many different ones here... maybe its just easier if I change the fitting at the appliance i want .Where to get that fitting?

Iv just filled my 47kg at Asda but it only filled to 20 litres then shut off. It was also very slow to fill up. Any idea as to the problem.

Brilliant video mate. Thank you for sharing and giving confidence and knowledge to do this

So wrong, encouraging people to refill exchange gas bottles. It's a dangerous exercise in the wrong hands! Also your suggestion that the 20% is for expansion is also wrong. You fill with Liquid. The liquid needs space to gas-off, which it does until a specific pressure in the bottle is achieved, then stops gassing off until you reduce the pressure by using the gas. If it was filled to the brim you would initially get liquid out, that expands at very high velocity when the pressure is released. It would be a flame thrower if it ignited.

It is illegal to fill any cylinder that you don’t own and by own I mean you bought it outright. It is also important that the cylinder is in test. The next question I would be asking if this all goes wrong whose insurance is paying out for the property damage and any potential loss of life. There is a reason these things have property of and only to be filled by ……………. Because they have the insurance the proper equipment and the legal responsibility to ensure the thing is in test.

Brilliant video mate, I appreciate very much you using your time and effort to put it together for us. And today I learnt something new, something very beneficial.

Hi mate, great video, hey just wondering can the cylinder be on its side when filling? or does it have to be upright? Thanks, I'd like to give that a go!!

Used to do this in Holland years ago

Undenkbar in Deutschland. Hier wird das Gas nur beim abfüller in die Flaschen gemacht. Leere abgeben. Volle pfandflasche mitnehmen.

very informative but you should always use proper gloves when working with lps ..

You over filled it's 33.4 x 1.96=65.46 so you went 5litres over

It's actually illegal to what you've been doing for 10 years. The petrol station aren't supposed to allow it

My gas bottle is 3.9kg calor gas bottle. Am I right in thinking it’s roughly 7Litres I put in?

First check if it legal to do so = it isn't in some places as the autogas is a different mix of propane/butane to what is used in BBQ and the burners aren't designed for it.

Calor are now doing away with 3.9kg and you ain't getting the deposit back either.

I've seen gypsies doing this many times

when filling up in Canada and the States the Tank is put on a weight scale.. its sold by teh pound or kilograms not litres or gallons.

In the uk it’s illegal big time

??? hmm strange, in Canada and the States, you can refill then why is it different where you are?

Your sitting on a bomb if filling lpg bottles like this in hot weather 😬🤦.... Use an earthing system 👍

🤣🤣 This video is a great demo of how dangerous a little knowledge can be.

That is the most STUPID and dangerous thing to do! And illegal in most EU countries for that reason ( certainly by all LPG gas selling stations..). And if you make a video with a canister that old you are even a bigger IDIOT.

Hand tight and he used a spanner ,the mind boggles ?

I didn’t know they allowed this !.

So is lpg propane or butane? Did that cut off automatically?

I started to do this a few years ago at the one and only filling station local to me with an LPG pump. It went ok for about 14 months but then one day they stopped me!! The manager came out and said it was illegal and pointed at a big notice saying portable gas cylinders were not permitted to be refilled. There are no alternative stations close enough to make it viable, so I can no longer do this. I never had a problem though and it was saving me a fortune on running my gas central heating in a rural location with no mains gas. Don't know how my gas cylinder supplier can justify charging more than a forecourt price for gas, and they are now even charging a market volatility charge and for delivery! They used to deliver free. So it now costs me almost £100 for a 47KG cylinder, which can last as little as a week in very cold weather! This is in the west mids area of the UK.

Dangerous thing to do, auto gas vehicles have a tank with a shut of valve that automatically stops the flow, when the tank is 80% full. don't do it you are putting yourself and others in danger.

When I Was Back-Packing in Australia 👍 Year 2000 👍 👍 LPG = 8 ~ 9 UK Pence / Litre 👍 👍 Petrol = 22 ~ 24 UK Pence / Litre 👍 Boo Hoo 😢

Sainsbury's @ Taunton Somerset M5 J25 WERE £0.59p / Litre👍 Have Just STOPPED Selling L.P.Gas WHY ? Good Question, They Used to Sell So Much They Were Empty Half the Time, So Sad 😢

aint you got a big gob .... now the gas company will put a stop to it, for what just to show how clever you've been watching some one else refill one

That's an awful lot cheaper than petrol or diesel 🙂

Is the unsafe and illegal practice of refilling an everyday exchange only (Calor) Gas bottle worth being taken to court or even worse injuring or killing yourself and those around you, especially when there is a safe and legal self-refillable product available? To sum it up, refilling exchange gas bottles (Calor, Flo-gas, Countrywide, BP and any exchange only gas bottle) which are not designed to be refilled by the general public at LPG fuel stations and petrol/gasoline forecourts is like driving your car along a motorway without touching the steering wheel - It’s that dangerous for you and people around you and at some point the worse is going to happen. Buying a fill system off eBay or various web shops that enables you refill a Gas bottle from Calor gas, Flo-gas and other exchange bottle companies with pump Autogas, that it was never designed to do so is not only illegal and a prosecutable crime but it is also dangerous to you and those around you, so why risk everything to save a few £'s self-refilling an exchange bottle illegally when there are legal and safe refillable bottles like the GAS It (www.gasit.co.uk/), SafeFill (www.safefill.co.uk/) & Gas BANK (www.gas-bank.com/) or other brands that are fully covered by UK and EU regulations and can be refilled anywhere legally and most importantly safely. *It’s a no brainer!* We've all seen the filling adaptors on eBay and some web shops that allow you to refill gas bottles that were never designed to be end user refilled, as they were only to be returned and exchange for a new full one, but did you know it’s actually an illegal practice that people are being prosecuted for here in the UK and it’s not just by Calor Gas. You are also contravening: • UK Health and Safety Regulations, • Weights and Measures Regulations & • Consumer Safety legislation the list goes on. These Regulations impose important legal duties on the site operator (the petrol/gas station) to ensure the safety of both their employees and members of the public and even the site owners can be prosecuted and have trading licenses removed. The HSE (Health and Safety Executive) has even stated in writing that “LAs (local authorities) should consider issuing a prohibition notice if their inspectors discover a site which allows members of the public to refill gas cylinders”. Which means the forecourts and gas stations are risking prosecution and not only you if you were caught or if an accident was to happen. You also risk having your vehicle, caravan, home or business or life insurance invalidated if you are found to have self-refilled a bottle illegally and then something goes wrong - is it worth it for a few quid? People assume wrongly that the reason why the gas bottle companies says don't do it is simply because the Gas companies are losing money when you self-refill one of their bottles and that’s its sole reason, that is a factor they are losing trade, however the most significant point is that it is deadly if not done in accordance with strict rules and practices. The reason is that it’s a very dangerous practice in many ways, and every time you do it you not only risk yourselves but everyone around you during the filling, use and storage of that illegally refilled bottle, but the bottom line is you have to be aware that whilst these self-refilling adaptors are readily available you need to know the refilling practice is illegal and silly especially with the legal and safe alternative approved refillable bottles. Let me add that by using the name 'Calor Gas bottles', it is a term associated with all exchange type gas bottles like a Hoover is to vacuum cleaners but the bottom line is ALL exchange type gas bottles were only ever designed to be refilled by the company who actually still owns them ( you as a user never own a Calor bottle, they loan it/them to us ) Self refilling is dangerous and ILLEGAL in the UK * publishing.energyinst.org/__data/assets/file/0005/547862/WEB-VERSION-Red-Guide-18.10.18.pdf (see pages 61 & 62) * www.calor.co.uk/news-and-views/calor-warns-about-unlawful-filling-of-lpg-cylinders-at-autogas-refuelling-sites * www.phamnews.co.uk/big-fine-for-illegal-filling-of-lpg-cylinders/ This is a criminal act in the UK. You risk your life and that of others ie the public, you are not permitted to refill a named (surcharge) gas bottle in the UK unless it is a specified refillable type ie. GAS It (www.gasit.co.uk/), SafeFill (www.safefill.co.uk/) & Gas BANK (www.gas-bank.com/) or other well known SAFE & LEGAL brands. Just for an example, here is a bottle 11Kg from SafeFill (carbonzorro.com/en/products/gasbank-single-11-kg-lpg-refillable-gas-cylinder-din-g12-klf-inlet-outlet-14.html) for the price of a new bottle from a named Calor type supplier and you get to refill it yourself legally and safely. Or there is a more expensive AluGas bottle 14Kg on ebay www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225183700445?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=225183700445&targetid=1814673647942&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9046521&poi=&campaignid=19089547614&mkgroupid=142438599285&rlsatarget=pla-1814673647942&abcId=9303859&merchantid=115186946&gclid=Cj0KCQiA54KfBhCKARIsAJzSrdoIowIp6omForiRNTgu32XZo4ZDy_tIoIJ_1LV9wYGbIEYaqV6J704aAsZjEALw_wcB It is a no brainer.
