Fuel Keg 1lb Refill Kit

Absolutely the best refillable solution for 1lb tanks fuel kegs . Easy, reliable and perfect. And it’s safe! Time to buy more tanks.

Works great! Love it!

I have been refilling my 1-pound propane bottles for years, and I've always found the process bothersome, tedious, and, depending on how it's done, potentially dangerous. This kit gives me a much easier alternative. There are a couple of newer systems on the market that accomplish the same basic thing. From what I found, both work in a similar manner and require you to purchase their particular refillable canisters. After comparing the options and thinking about which would work best for me, I chose this system. One of the things I really like is that it doesn't require any additional tools. I had the entire kit assembled in about five minutes, and I was ready to refill my first canister about ten minutes after opening the package. Using a 20-pound propane tank, it took approximately 30–35 seconds to fill a 1-pound canister. That makes this a very convenient way to keep several small canisters ready to use. There is also a potential cost advantage. When you're using your own 20-pound propane tank, you're paying for the propane rather than continually buying disposable 1-pound bottles. It also means fewer disposable bottles going into the waste stream. Overall, I'm very pleased with this system. It was quick and simple to assemble, requires no special tools, and makes refilling my small propane canisters much more convenient. Just be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and all applicable safety requirements when handling and transferring propane.

I've only used it once, to fill 3 Fuel Kegs, but it worked as advertised. I filled from a full 20 lb tank. It filled each of my three 1 lb Fuel Kegs in about 1 min and 17 sec. To get a sense for how much propane is lost from the vent valve (which is kept open during the fill, per instructions), I weighed my 20 lb tank before and after with a digital luggage scale (which I've found to be accurate in that it matched the airline scale). Filling 3 tanks used about 3.3 lbs from the 20 lb tank (so about 1.1 lb to fill a keg). Weighing the tank a 2nd time showed 3.2 lbs used (so the venting loss might be less than 0.1 lbs per Fuel Keg). I weighed my 3 Fuel Kegs before and after filling. They all weighed between 1.9 and 2 lbs empty. The first one I filled weighed 0.9 lbs more after filling (but I stopped filling within a couple seconds after the white mist appeared from the vent). The second and third kegs weighed exactly 1 lb heavier after filling (I filled them a bit longer, waiting for the mist to be more continuous before ending the fill). After removing the Fuel Kegs from the fill apparatus , I made sure each retained its plastic sleeve and o-ring (as other reviews have noted that these can get stuck to the filll nozzle). I also used a brass cap with rubber seal (purchased separately) instead of the pastic cap that comes with the fuel keg. I figure this is an added safe guard in case the Fuel Keg leaks. I tested one of the filled kegs in a "Big Buddy" heater. It fit just fine (allowing the heater door to close) and worked (on low, medium, and high). I got this setup for emergency prep, since I have several of the Buddy indoor-safe propane heaters (in case we can't run our furnace). So I likely won't be able to comment on how it holds up under frequent use, but I'm very satisfied for my purposes. The Fuel Keg seems sturdy and well-constructed.

Easy to use and works. I could not use the "legs", my 20 pounds propane gas has different dimentions; and I have to buy an aditional adapter to conect it. It is somehow difficult to know when to stop the refill, I had to weight the tank until I had the proper weight (800gr for the tank, plus 1lb for the propane). It would be great to buy it without the legs, it is a bit expensive compared with other kits. But other than that it works well and it is easy to use.

This device is an essential item for anyone who uses disposable gas bottles. It works great. Never buy an expensive disposable gas bottle again. Five Stars.

Easy to use and saves tons of money. The 1lb propane canisters around my area are about $10-$12 for 1 so I decided to go this route. If you camp a lot or have a buddy heater I would definitely recommend having one of these with the refillable fuel kegs. Only works with Mr heater fuel kegs.

Great accessory makes refilling 1lb propane bottles simple and easy. But the refillable bottles with this and never look back.
