but the adapter that refills them from a 20 lb tank .. you will save a bundle of money
I refill my own !!!
Home Depot has a 4 and 6 pack on for a good price (can't remember exactly what it was, but about 30% less than CT).
However, I refill mine too. Costs about $2-3 per. Really handy to have a digital weight scale (go on sale for $10 occasionally) so you know for sure that they are full.
The 2 pack at Walmart is $7
Is it very difficult to refill them, I know they recommend not to do it, but they sell the tool in the US.

The valves on the new 20 lb tanks were designed to stop DIY refills. The 5 and 10 lb tanks are still available to use with a hose kit though.
When you open the relief valves on the little tanks and get liquid propane, that means they are full and still have the expansion chamber empty. This occurs normally when you are refilling them.
As posted already, it's easy to fill them. I only fill mine about 3/4 full. If you google filling them, there's some good info.Quote:

does anyone know how to prevent overfilling; do the little green tanks have a relief valve (e.g. filled in the winter, stored in the sun in the summer)? or do you have to rely on a scale reading?
