Subject:Re: Marshall "Second Chance" LPG adapter?

I've talked to propane guys and tried my hand at refilling them
myself. The short answer is, that it is more trouble than it is worth
usually.

The propane guys basically will all say, it is unsafe. In many cases,
I'll concur. Those 1 pound bottles are cheap. The valves are not
designed for refilling and may leak if you do sucessfully put propane
back in them.

A better solution is to get an adapter hose so that you don't use the
disposable bottles, but use a standard 1 or 5 gallon tank. These
adapter hoses are available at propane places.
