Flame king propane tanks

[randyt]

I picked up a couple of these awhile back. They are not cheap.

I have refilled the throw away tanks many times.

The flame king has a allen screw which is loosened for filling. When liquid comes out its 80 percent full

I use my homemade filler on the flame king tanks. Works fine.

Mr heater makes a model as well
I'm not sure about thst model. It has a spring operated bleeder orifice
I have concerns that that could leak. With the flame king, the allen screw can be snugged up.

Thay are not cheap. I have filled a lot of the disposals before. I think these are a better set up though

There are a lot of adds lately for the ..Flame King.. and another brand of refillable container.. It looks like a good, safer alternative to refilling ..one use.. tanks..

However, I've seen little to no actual experience with these systems..

Both systems I've seen use a ..notch and pin.. set up of some sort.. Is this just for alignment when mounted on the refilling arm ?? Or have something to do with venting the tank ??

I don't know what that notch and pin is suppose to do. I fill mine with a homemade filler made from a POL, small tank adapter, ball valve and length of hose. I turn a 20 lb cylinder upside down on my bench, attach pol. Ball valve is shut off. Turn big tank on. Attach little tank and loosen bleed screw. Turn ball valve on, when liquid is spitting from bleeder hole shut ball valve and bleeder screw. Remove tank and fill another. It maybe took me longer to.write it that do do it.

I've not used the fuel keg, just looked them over in hardware
