re-filling blow torch bottles

[BrokenBiker]

I bought a kit from AliExpress to refill mapp gas type bottles from a propane bottle.
It works very well and I have refilled a few bottles for the mens shed using it and an inverted 13 kg propane bottle.
Best doing it by weight and I was able to get the empty refilled to the same weight as a new bottle.

good to hear, thanks...ill weigh the next full bottle i get

Could add oxygen and get a oxy torch setup.

Yeah don't do that.

but then i need to drag a 47kg bottle (which actually weighs close to 100kg when full) everywhere i want to use the torch...

popping out to sort a siezed bolt on a mates tractor becomes a bit of a pain then...

i still have mapp left but will be buying a propane bottle next and then will see how refilling it goes. for the use it gets i dont actually need the mapp, only started buying it to heat metal for bending but ive got that covered now

Just weld some wheels to the bottom of the gas bottle.
Easy to move around and, when it's empty, half the work already done for turning it into a mobile bbq
