That adapter to refill gas canisters..

Post by BreninBeener »

Im sure i read a thread on here about an adapter to refill small gas canistera from larger ones.

Can anyone help me with the link? £5 for the tiny one for a jetboil is a bit salty :-)

Thanks

I have one but it was only £14 posted from the bloke who makes then in South Korea... who it would appear no longer makes them. So sorry, no help at all.

Should fill 8 100g canisters easily

Have a read of the adventures in stoving blog before you do it. There's a wealth of info there and some useful advice

I haven't tried this before, though I do have some of the aerosol style canisters knocking about so I ordered an adaptor a few days ago to let me use them instead of the normal screw on ones

The only things to remember are:

1, Do not over fill the canister being refilled (always weigh and right the weight of the canister on the bottom when you buy it new - so you know what weight "full" is). Weigh the cylinder during filling (good squirt - stop - weigh - more gas - stop - weigh etc)
2. The canister to be refilled should be MUCH colder than the one donating the gas. Put the canister to be refilled in the freezer for a bit and the donor should be at room temp (20 degrees or above)
3. Do it outside and use gloves/eye protection.

It is easy and you can normally refill a 100gr gas canister 4 or 5 times before the rubber gas seal starts to leak.
