In case you're wondering, DO NOT TRY TO FILL PROPANE GAS INTO BUTANE OR ISOBUTANE CANISTERS!! It's dangerous to place propane into the Isobutane canisters because they are light gauge metal containers, and propane exerts a greater pressure than butane. There's a reason why LPG or propane canisters are significantly thicker gauge than the little hiking gas canisters we love to carry around. 👍

[@tarnvedra9952]

Few notes:
- propane, butane or their mix is always mostly liquified in the bottle unless its almost empty, you harvest the gas from layer on top of the liquid
- this is part of the reason you had trouble transferring into a bottle that was laying on its side, better setup is donor/receiver adaptors connected with a hose, that way you can keep donor bottle upside down, receiver bottle right side up and also keep it on the scale while you are filling to check that you don´t go over the proper fill weight.

Top video.
Just FYI you can fill the Butane canister from your Propane source with the correct adaptor, BUT they won't work on the standard outdoor butane stove because the safety mechanism on the stove kicks in because propane pressure is much higher than butane and the stove will not let it work.

Thanks for the tip!

[@rust4u2me]

best vid on the tube...lol

[@jelreviews]

Thanks mate.... Much appreciated 👍👍

[@user-rz9ft2rh3t]

You can buy the refilling adapters with a tube, it comes with a valve and a relief valve so you can refill more easily and fill more.

[@jelreviews]

Hmm, not sure if I've seen that one with a tube yet. You wouldn't have a link to it I could check out?

[@Jerryob100]

I know you can't refill 8oz butane cans with propane because of the higher pressure, but can you combine butane from partially empty butane cans into one?

[@jelreviews]

Absolutely, you can combine butane from other butane canisters into one of these Isobutane canisters I've shown in this video. Just ensure you don't add butane into a canister that already contains the Isobutane mixture... It's either one or the other. No home mixing of both. 👍👍

[@marcoshernandez1427]

Hello, great video, just what I was looking for.
Can I use a butane gas canister on a propane camp stove ? If so, what adapter do I need to use butane bottles on propane stove?

[@jelreviews]

Thanks for watching. If you mean to fill a butane canister with propane, then no.... too dangerous. Propane is not meant for the very thin-walled butane or isobutane gas canisters as it exerts a lot higher pressure.

[@marcoshernandez1427]

​@@jelreviewsI meant using butane gas on a stove meant for propane.

[@jelreviews]

@@marcoshernandez1427 Sorry, now I get it. :) Yes you can... I'd recommend checking out this guy's video as he does exactly what you're asking: ua-cam.com/video/a5I9ENOItlE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=EliteEdge%3ATech%26WellnesswithSheryl%26Linus

[@marcoshernandez1427]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ​@@jelreviews

[@Gn8Lif3]

I would advice anyone doing this to check your valves and bottles/cans with a spraybottle and a Mix of water and dishsoap for leakage
Use a Mix of at least 40%soap to get nice clear bubbleing if anything is letting out Gas where it shouldnt

[@jelreviews]

That is good advice 🙌

[@massa6784]

Hi! Thank you for this video! Is there a reason why you don´t fill propane in the 100 or 230g bottles?

[@jelreviews]

No probs. Yes, my understanding is that it's dangerous to place propane into the Isobutane canisters because they are light gauge metal containers, and propane exerts a greater pressure than butane. There's a reason why LPG or propane canisters are significantly thicker gauge than the little hiking gas canisters we love to carry. 👍

[@massa6784]

@@jelreviews Thanks for your answer. Ah, OK, I understand. Since I mostly only do overnight tours, 30g in a 100g canister would probably be enough for me. But it's probably a stupid idea, don't you think? (At my risk, of course!) :D
