How to Refill an LPG Gas Cylinder?

time2011/04/21

Today many families enjoy the use of gas grills for meals and entertaining. Gas grills are typically fueled by propane cylinders or tanks, but these may run out of propane. To avoid a disappointing cookout, keep a close watch on the propane tank and refill it before it runs out and ruins an event. Propane cylinders should be refilled at propane filling locations by trained

1 Inspect the cylinder for the water capacity (WC). This indicates the amount of water the tank can hold in lbs. Also look for the "tare weight" which is the weight of the empty tank.

2 Convert the water capacity to lbs. of propane using the cylinder filling chart.

3 Add the amount of propane in lbs. to the tare weight of the cylinder for the total weight of the cylinder when it is filled. Set the weight on the scale.

4 Attach the hose end nozzle to the cylinder. Open the bleeder valve and reset the meter.

5 Pump propane into the cylinder.

6 Stop the pump if the bleeder valve begins to spew liquid, when the scale indicates that the legal filling capacity for the cylinder has been reached or when the Overfill Protection Device (OPD) valve stops the flow of propane into the cylinder.
