    They put the Flame King kits and refillable bottles on sale at Amazon during the summer…. I bought the kit and four extra bottles last summer for 40% off… Game changer!! I’ve always hated that the green bottles would go to the landfill and refilling is so much cheaper. Win-win!!
    Thanks for another great video Bob and team!

      I'd probably write the date on the bottle when I first refill it and replace them every 6 to 12 months. That would still allow you to cut down on the number of bottles you buy.

    Bob, I cut the tank of the prefilled tanks, and the Flame King tanks. The prefilled tank is NOT as thick as the Flame King tanks. The prefilled was less than an eighth of an inch. The flame king was much thicker. Made to take the extra pressure. Plus it works like the commercial tanks, with relief valve, for overfill.
    I love our setup. We use it on our big buddy heater. This way I don’t have to have a window open, or the slide seal opened, to run a 5lb tank from outside.

    Thank you for this demonstration. Here are a few details that weren't covered. Propane is a liquid at room temperature when it is held above a certain pressure. When the compressed gas expands, through an orifice, the gas cools well below room temperature. When the one pound bottle is filled then liquid propane starts squatting from the side outlet valve. The purchased propane contains a small quantity of odorant that is added so the leaked gas can be easily detected by the human nose. The odorant is destroyed when propane gas is burned. The gas that lies above the liquid is propane vapor, not air. When the gas is 'purged' from the bottle it is a serious fire hazard. Measures must be taken to ensure that the emitted gas doesn't come in contact with burning embers, open flame, or spark ignition sources. Propane gas is heavier than air so it tends to flow into low areas. Such filing actions should be done in the open air with an opportunity for good air flow. Propane gas, if given enough time, can disperse widely in the air. Within a certain concentration range the burn reaction can be explosive, especially if the propane air mix is confined within a closed space.

    I have had the Flame King kit for over 3 years. I like refilling the 1 pound tanks as I use them with our on demand hot water heater, 2 burner stove and as a back up should our bigger tank we use for the Blackstone griddle run empty. They are very convenient to have. As a Safety Officer, I can tell you that refilling the non-refillable tanks is an accident waiting to happen. If you have never seen a propane explosion it is massive. Why take the chance? If you shop around a bit, you can find the kit for less then $60 and on average the refillable tanks for about $15. People always say "I've done it this way for years and never had a problem". I have a saying for that, "you've never had a problem until you've had a problem, then you've had a problem". Hopefully one you can walk away from. Nice video.

  • @mjrootz
    @mjrootz 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

    VERY VERY GOOD VIDEO! Answers a lot of questions and I agree with you on why not to refill those small tanks.. Some comments: Propane is a liquefied gas and all gases share the same property; In a bottle, pressure, volume, temperature and the type of gas all affect each other: PV=nRT. When a gas is compressed or decompressed, the energy level of the molecules increase or decrease. When volume increases (you let it out of the bottle) the energy in the molecules decrease and the tank and the gas gets cold. It's the same when you fill a SCUBA tank. the energy in the molecules increase and the tank gets hot.. LOL. Wow, I remember that from high school chemistry.. a long long time ago....

    Everyone should watch this to understand displacement. It should be taught in school. It's my pet peeve. I hate when I go to a restaurant and the staff has filled the pepper shaker to the brim. I have to take the top off and make a mess to get pepper. It's a basic principle we need to know.

    • @Marley-ii6ls
      @Marley-ii6ls 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      It's not displacement.
      If you don't release the pressure you have two containers at equal pressure therefore very little liquid will flow. By opening the container to the atmosphere you create a differental pressure of approximately 145psi at 70f. The liquid in the small bottle further drops its pressure as the liquid within it boils at -44f at the atmospheric pressure. Propane vapor is being released to the atmosphere, not air. Never do this indoors.

    I've filled a lot of Coleman bottles and a huge amount of them leak. Even with aftermarket brass caps on them. Bought the flame king system system a few years ago and feel much safer about putting them in my campers storage compartment. I've never had a leak. I weigh them to make sure they're not overfilled.

  • @adventurebythemile
    @adventurebythemile 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

    After 1 explosion people will wish they never started refilling. My Dad restored old propane tractors before he died and had 50 or so. They leak and yeah you smell it but if there is a smell from a leak it will take any kind of spark and that’s all she wrote. Propane is a heavy gas and settles to the lowest point whether it is the floor of your van or the ground when you are outside cooking. It’s a great source of fuel but after seeing what it does when it explodes you will change your mind. I use butane just because it is safer.

    Folks, just an FYI... I was a delivery driver for a large national propane company for years. Propane is highly flammable - that is why it is such a great fuel. However, it is NOT explosive. This is a very common misconception. Needless to say, you still don't want your RV to be full of propane. Always be safe. Thanks for another great video, Bob.

    • @scotttovey
      @scotttovey 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      "it is NOT explosive"
      That's not entirely true.
      It depends on the situation in which the gas is ignited.
      If you have an RV full of propane and something sparks, that gas is going to ignite and you will have an explosion.
      Same thing if you have an open flame in the RV and a propane leak.
      Eventually, that leak will fill the RV to the point where the gas comes in contact with the open flame and it will explode.
      Shooting a propane tank with a bullet however, has been shown to not cause and explosion.
      The difference between an RV full of propane and a propane tank being penetrated by a bullet, is the availability of oxygen.
      The propane in the tank doesn't have access to available oxygen, the propane filled RV does.

      Propane is highly explosive. If a tank leaks enough gas into a room that is not vented and somebody goes in that room and flips a light switch on, the room will go KABOOM. That is why propane should be stored in a vented room or outside. You will get the same reaction as you would with natural gas.

    Thank you for yet another wonderfully informative video! Many years ago I had to depend on my portable Coleman camping stove for quite some time. My stand alone stove/oven went out and the part to fix it was almost the cost of a new stove. So I stocked up on the 1lb disposable gas bottles. At the time, thankfully, they were a lot less expensive but over time they did add up. Plus it’s more trash going to the landfill. These new refillable ones are a great idea and had they been around back then I would definitely have invested in them! Thanks again and take care.

  • @stevencichy137

I like the idea that things at the time were not designed to be used like this they were made to either be refilled or not.

    Great video on why not to refill the throw aways. The gas escaping the refill tank is air, air/lp gas or lp gas. Never do this anywhere near a open flame. LP gas is heaver than air and will pool in low spots and if there is a flame, boom!

    Mr. Heater has brought our its own refillable propane system called Fuel Keg. It has pretty much the same functionality of the Flame King system but works slightly differently. It is getting good reviews so people might want to check it out and choose which works best for them. The Fuel Keg system is more compact so it might be better for people living in vans.

    The problem with filling the green bottle s is that you might fill them more than there 80% volume limit if you are not weighing in the 1lb of propane. Therefore the container may burst due to the expansion of liquid propane when the container gets hot. Everything is fine until the inside of your truck where you stored the bottles gets hot. People aren't aware of what they're messing with.

    @joanndavis4843 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Bob's videos are the best👍! In this one, he addressed the fact that insurance will not pay on a claim if it's found that a fire was a result of a worn out mechanism on a cannister that was never meant to be refilled. But to take that even further, any fire inside a vehicle or van that started because someone was cooking inside, regardless of what the source was, propane, or butane cannister, is also a non payable claim. If a damage claim is determined, not the fault of the owner, that claim can pay a good amount. But if the finding is otherwise, the owner is responsible for repairs and/or has to pay the amount for another vehicle in the event of a total loss. I have seen too many vanlife videos with curtains, blankets, and mattresses within inches of a stove. If that is not safe in a sticks and bricks home I don't see the logic why it'd be ok in a van because there isn't any logic to it. Having a fire extinguisher and surrounding the stove from all sides in some type of metal enclosure would be a more realistic plan. Look around at thrift stores for some kind of metal box that a small stove would fit perfect inside. Something easily accessible to cook in and close off in case an errant flame gets out of hand.

    Interesting timing! I JUST tried to refill one of these green cannisters with a special adapter. Turned out the release valve was faulty. After I noticed the slow leak (from the smell) I had to empty the can entirely, and then put it into the recycle bin. So sad. Now I'm excited to get this refill kit you talk about!

  • @dondakota920
    @dondakota920 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thanks Bob, been warning about refilling disposable bottles glad to see you under the risks. Best option is to use a large bottle. Best to buy one new and never exchange it, always get it filled. You will save money and never get a bottle with water and rust in it. Buy an adapter to run your device from the large bottle.
    Only use I have for disposable bottles is using in an emergency like running out at night when you need heat.

    Make sure you do this outdoors. That's not air coming out of the bottles it's flammable propane gas. Propane turns to gas at -44 f , that's why it is cold. The rotten egg smell is mercantile that they add to Propane so you can tell if you have a Propane leak.

    Real good video, Bob, explaining how propane works. It sounds dangerous.

    The blue one pound can be refilled too. But they must be making green refillable now too, thank you !

    I agree with you it is never worth any risk to do things that are consdiered dangerous or illegal. life is to precious to take unecessary risks. driving is dangerous yes but we need to travel, and need to go places so we drive but we try to drive as carefully as possible to reduce risks we can.

    also, don't forget that there's also a hack for refilling disposable bic lighters; well we did it long ago and they may be designed now in a way that prevents it.
    Which leads me to this thought - coleman could come up with a design that would make them impossible to refill

    Mr Heater brand just came out with a similar kit and refillable bottles.

    If you don't want to drag around a 20lb cylinder Flame King has a selection of smaller ones. 3lb to 11lb. They're not cheap but it's a lot easier. The butane one burners come in duo fuel butane/propane models. For an extra $20 you can run it off of a propane cylinder instead of continually buying the small butane cans. This will pay for itself in short order.

    Thank you Bob for the FYI.
    Nice to know there is an alternative.
    It's the waste factor not recycling them
    that bothers me.
    I hate throwing them in the trash.
    How do you recycle the bottles?
    Let us know.
    Good safety video.
