    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
    Q1. Can I fill propane gas into butane or isobutane canisters?
    Answer. NO! DO NOT TRY TO FILL PROPANE GAS INTO BUTANE OR ISOBUTANE CANISTERS!! It's dangerous to place propane into the Isobutane canisters because they are light gauge metal containers, and propane exerts a greater pressure than butane. There's a reason why LPG or propane canisters are significantly thicker gauge than the little hiking gas canisters we love to carry around.
    Q2. Can I "top up" a half full gas canister, say a camping iso-butane canister that is half-full with butane gas?
    Answer: There is nothing wrong with 'topping up' a canister provided that it is only topped up with the same type of gas, ie butane to butane, don't mix butane into iso-butane or propane for example. However, be aware of the weight of an empty canister vs a full canister, so when you top up the half empty canister, do not go above what a full canister would normally weigh. That's why always use a kitchen scale to double check. For example, I always use the small 100g Jetboil camping canister for my adventures. When empty, it weighs 100g, when full of butane it weighs 200g. Don't overfill it to say 220g total weight, ensure its 200g total and you're good to go - it's what the canister is designed to hold.
    Q3. If I don't freeze the "receiving canister" (host), can I still transfer gas from the donor canister to the host canister?
    Answer: Yes, you can.... if you don't freeze the receiving canister, it will still receive gas, but won't be as efficient to transfer, and it won't get to its full capacity. To make sure gas flows from the donor canister to the host canister effectively, there needs to be a heat differential between them. If both canisters are the same temperature, it won't transfer effectively. Cold gas shrinks and condenses, while warm fuel expands. So, the receiving canister needs to be colder than the one being emptied, and the receiving canister should be on the bottom of the donor canister.
    Q4. My iso-butane canister is looking old, rusty and crappy. Can I still refill it?
    Answer: Like anything in life, safety is paramount, and if you choose to use any equipment that is old, rusty and crappy, then you will wear the risk of personal injury!! It is critical to always ensure your gas canisters are in good condition. If there is any rust or damage, do not use it for gas purposes!! Discard it and get another gas canister that you have confidence in.

      Here in Canada it's actually illegal to refill the "non-refillable" types, probably because most people don't understand the differences between gas, cannisters and pressure. I had a LPG (Propane) vehicle with adapters and hoses to use 20 lb (8KG) tanks in case I ran out in the woods... I also wanted to mention to you and your viewers that the smaller 1lb (400grm green ones) has legally refillable ones on Amazon. The refillable ones usually have a valve to deal with "over filling" while the green ones don't. Also I think the refillable ones are a bit sturdier on construction. My advice, but the refillable LPG tanks and a tank kit if you're going to use small ones for camping.

    I don’t know how you could have produced this with all of the important information in a briefer, clearer presentation. I have probably consulted seven or eight other videos (each helpful in its own way), but none was as thorough or as clear as this. Thank you very much for the effort that went into this (the editing must have been labor-intensive); be safe, and enjoy the outdoors. Many thanks from the USA.

    @tarnvedra9952 8 месяцев назад +21

    Few notes:
    - propane, butane or their mix is always mostly liquified in the bottle unless its almost empty, you harvest the gas from layer on top of the liquid
    - this is part of the reason you had trouble transferring into a bottle that was laying on its side, better setup is donor/receiver adaptors connected with a hose, that way you can keep donor bottle upside down, receiver bottle right side up and also keep it on the scale while you are filling to check that you don´t go over the proper fill weight.

    This was the most thorough, and understandable, video I have read on refilling canisters. I ordinarily hammock-camp in a nearby state forest (less than 20 miles away, in the USA), and I ordinarily do everything over a fire; in the summer, it keeps bugs away, in cooler weather, it produces heat (I’ve been comfortably down to 18 F in my hammock), so I ordinarily just cook on the fire. When it rains, however, and I have my hammock tarp in porch mode, I take an alcohol stove, which works fine. However, it doesn’t work very well in sub-freezing weather (it lights, but is slow to reach boiling temps). So I purchased an inexpensive butane stove (the Ozark single-burner). When I weighed it, compared to my alcohol (with fuel), it is only one ounce lighter for the 8 oz. canister, and would be LESS with a 4 oz. canister. Since I ordinarily do only a night or two, that is all I need, but now (thanks to you) I can use my larger butane canisters to re-fuel my smaller ones, and they will be as light (or lighter), and more reliable (keep them close to your back on sub-freezing hikes). This is what I will try this summer and fall, and see how it compares to the alcohol stove. You have provided VERY helpful information as I plan for the future. BTW, I am almost 70, recovered from Stage-3 colon cancer 20 years ago, and I am just grateful to still hike out in the woods and spend nights alone in the woods. Thank you very much, from state-side, as we call it here; hikers, campers, and backpackers have no countries; we all just live in the forest, when we can. THANK you very much. Be safe, and enjoy the forest.

    Great video! Be mindful of the rust that will develop inside of steel peopane bottles, they will not last forever. Propane contains water so structural integrity will eventually be compromised by rust. That being said, I hate throwing away a perfectly good canister just because it is empty.

    Here in the UK I tend to buy larger ISO Butane cans at 500g each. I then fill our small 230g or 100g cans as appropriate. Works out a little more economical to buy in bulk. The 230g ones we use for sea kayaking expeditions, they fit in the boat a bit easier; and the 100g ones for when we have to carry stuff on our backs 😎
    The big ones never go anywhere near a stove. Once they are empty I puncture them and recycle.
    Thanks for the info on the narrower pure butane cans. Cheaper solution so long as it’s not too cold 👍🏻 Will probably use these once I get the adapter from eBay.

    In Australia, propane is a type of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), but not all LPG is propane:
    Propane
    A three-carbon molecule with the formula C3H8. Propane is a type of LPG, and all propane is LPG.
    LPG
    A flammable hydrocarbon gas that can be propane, butane, isobutane, or a mixture of these gases. LPG is also known as LP gas, BBQ gas, camping gas, or autogas.
    LPG is created through oil refining and natural gas processing. It's often used as fuel for cooking, heating, and vehicles. LPG is heavier than air and has a higher specific gravity than natural gas.
    LPG is supplied through gas cylinders, while natural gas is piped into homes, businesses, and industrial properties.
    The density of propane gas is similar to that of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which is made up of propane and other gases:
    Propane
    The density of propane gas is about half that of water, with a specific gravity of 0.51. This means that 1 kilogram of propane gas has a volume of 1.96 liters, and 1 liter of propane gas weighs 0.51 kilograms.
    LPG
    The density of LPG is also about half that of water, with a specific gravity of 0.51. In Australia, where LPG is primarily propane, 1 kilogram of LPG has a volume of 1.96 liters, and 1 liter of LPG weighs 0.51 kilograms.
    LPG is a crude oil product that can also contain butane and isobutane. In the United States, it's common to refer to LP gas as "propane" because propane is the main component.

    Greetings from the Baltics where it gets very cold. I have a mixture of all there small containers and a bag full of adapters. We are all electric so if there is an outage the little squat can with a burner comes out and heats the meal and then is weighed when it is put away. I will refill it with the tall butane cans until those cans are exhausted (I bought them at my Lidl store as they were sold as refilling units for a walkway weed burner) Hoping to see a repeat sale this Fall. Great video.

    Great info, a few clarifications please:
    Is there such a thing as "topping up" a camping canister? In other words, what would happen if you went to refill a half empty one from a thin butane can?
    Second is what happens if you don't freeze the receiving canister, is it a large difference in the mass gain?

    • @jelreviews
      @jelreviews  Месяц назад

      Thanks. Re the first question, nothing wrong with 'topping up' a canister, however be aware of the following: only top up with the same type of gas, ie butane to butane, don't mix butane into iso-butane or propane. Also, be aware of the weight of an empty canister vs a full canister, so when you top up the half empty canister, do not go above what a full canister would normally weigh. That's why always use a kitchen scale to double check. For example, I always use the small 100g camping canister for my adventures. Empty it weighs 100g, full of butane it weighs 200g. Don't overfill it to say 220g total weight, ensure its 200g total and you're good to go - it's what the canister is designed to hold.
      Re the second question, if you don't freeze the receiving canister, it will still receive gas, but won't be as efficient to transfer, and it won't get to its full capacity. To make sure gas flows from one canister to the other effectively, there needs to be a heat differential between them. If both canisters are the same temperature, it won't transfer effectively. Cold gas shrinks and condenses, while warm fuel expands. So the empty canister needs to be colder than the one being emptied, and the receiving canister on the bottom of the donor canister.
      Hope all that helps :)

    Just FYI you can fill the Butane canister from your Propane source with the correct adaptor, BUT they won't work on the standard outdoor butane stove because the safety mechanism on the stove kicks in because propane pressure is much higher than butane and the stove will not let it work.

    I bought one of those 'over/under' adapters, to try and collect small leftovers from almost finished containers. Thing is, the valve open both ways, so I thought it might be faulty, but there's also no indicators for in/out . I was thinking, isn't gas liquid and supposed to follow gravity downward, so I just place the donor on top and reciever on bottom, or is the pressure a factor? I'm sorry but you made the video, so be ready for questions XD

    You are lucky that the cost of the tall butane gas canisters is so cheap! In Greece the cost of one of those canisters is around 5 Euros! They are used in the table side cookers in many restaurants, more than likely the reason for the higher cost. I do have one of the older camping stoves I bought in the states that comes from Brazil and utilizes the Camping Gaz 190gm sealed can that the stove will pierce when the base holding the gas tank is screwed tight to the stove. One does not unscrew the cylinder housing until it is totally empty. I also purchased an adapter that takes these cheap pierce once cans and converts it to a screw top style canister as allowing it to work with a smaller compact camping burners without worry of loosing gas from the cheaper piercing cans.

    • @jelreviews
      @jelreviews  4 месяца назад

      Oh wow... that is expensive for butane! I guess we are fortunate here in OZ for that gas. I've never had the chance to use the pierced gas canisters - they are not really sold much nor used over here. That adaptor for pierced cans sounds interesting - can't say I've seen that yet.

    • @jelreviews
      @jelreviews  6 месяцев назад +3

      No probs. Yes, my understanding is that it's dangerous to place propane into the Isobutane canisters because they are light gauge metal containers, and propane exerts a greater pressure than butane. There's a reason why LPG or propane canisters are significantly thicker gauge than the little hiking gas canisters we love to carry. 👍

    • @davefloyd9443
      @davefloyd9443 3 месяца назад +2

      ​@massa6784 Butane can be stored under pressure at 1.5bar at 15 degrees C, the pressure of Propane under similar conditions is 7 bar!
      The tall 'beercan' Butane cylinders are thin and fragile but are normally used in static grills and bbqs, the small iso/Butane (also Butane/Propane from Campingaz) are more rugged for backpacking and climbing where they are more likely to be bashed and dropped, they don't actually need to be that thick but I've seen the beercans take some scary knocks.
      Propane is 4 times the pressure of Butane, just don't go there.

    This is a brilliant video. I have searched for similar vids, but it in the end it was RUclips analytics that brought it up for me. A great job in explaining and thank you for sharing.

    I don't think people really realize how dangerous this is to do. Just because you can doesn't mean you should, there are many options out there that are refillable and safe. One company or such company sadly it is a overseas company but in my eyes I don't care is a company called camping Moon and I'm sure you have one or two of their adapters from the looks of your video. They have at least four different options when it comes to refillable canisters the largest option is their tc-35 but they sound like hotcakes I'm not going to lie! It took me at least a year to finally get myself one because of how fast these things sell. They're smaller ones you can find on Amazon quite easily, all you need to do is for camping Moon refillable canister. I believe they're second largest is the TC 28 is relatively small compared to their tc35 but still the weight is cut in half of course because of its size but still very worth it in my opinion

      @@jelreviews exactly what I said. Reusing disposable fuel canisters. They're all built the same way, meaning they all will break down the same way and could cause significant damage or harm to you or others around you.

      Yeah I disagree... these iso-butane canisters are perfectly safe for refilling with butane gas and obviously iso-butane mixtures. It's propane gas that I would not be filling these with as that is a heavier gas requiring a more robust canister... and I covered this in the video. The warning on these small gas canisters has been debunked a long time ago, but are left there by the manufacturers to continue purchasing them. Everything in life carries risks and can be dangerous, and if you are concerned about refilling these canisters with butane, then simply don't do it. Refilling these smaller canisters with butane gas.... no problems mate, people have been doing this for years and saving money. :)

      @@jelreviews people have yes I've seen it all over and that is true though there isn't a way to fix them when they deteriorate, guess just buy another one but in the long run more reliable option would be one you don't have to worry about breaking down on you in less than a weeks worth of heavy use. I would say in my opinion or many other's under the pretenses of buy once cry once, would you rather buy 10 unreliable unsafe items are one or two items that are pricey but much more with the money in the long run. Still no hate or disrespect mate love your opinion on this

      No problem. The video has a description area where I write a bunch of stuff about the video for the viewer. In that section is a link for each of the adaptors I show in this video - I've titled these as "Purchase Links". Each link will take you to where I purchased these. Hope that helps. :)

    Just a quick question? Why freeze the canisters?? Literally you don’t have to freeze them, i fill gas bottles for a living, have done for 30 years now..

    • @jelreviews
      @jelreviews  20 дней назад

      Fair enough.... I've found it simply works better and more efficiently more me, otherwise I've found with ambient temperature on the small canisters, the receiving canisters don't seem to fill to capacity.

    It can be charged, but the cylinder may swell and burst in the summer heat! ️I also experimented, but the bottom expanded from concave to convex. Apparently it survived the explosion. too dangerou‼️
