Mr. Heater Fuel Keg. - 1 lb. / 16 oz. Empty Refillable Propane Tank – DOT Certified

We move these. We use a lot of propane. These save a TON of money. This is simple enough to refill my wife can do it. So much better than the green cans.

These 1LB refillable fuel cylinders are easy to refill and function flawlessly. They also don't leak and are of high quaility. I was a little reluctant to buy them at first due to the price, but they really are top notch. I put them through frequent use and have never experienced a problem with them. Aside from being durable and noticably thicker than the competition, the fuel capacity seems on point. While they're on the expensive side, the value is evident and I feel I didn't just pay for the name, which I appreciate.

I bought two and got one solid one and one that had a bad seal. I registered the bottles at fuelkeg.com and opened a warranty claim for the leaky one via their contact form. They responded in a timely manner and after a few questions they sent me a new one without any hassle. Filling them was easy and trouble free for me using their refilling kit. While the refilling kit is a bit steep, the savings I'll have over the years using refillable bottles will more than make up for it. However, I will not purchase these through Amazon again. Pick them up from someone local, they list all their retailers on their site, so you can inspect the bottle before purchase. Amazon decided to ship these to me banging around inside a box with no packing material to protect the bottles. They do not ship in any sort of manufacturer packaging and they looked like they'd been sitting on an open shelf in a humid warehouse for a bit too long. Overall, aside from the incompetent shipping method and one leaky seal, the bottles are sturdy and well made and the powder coating survived the shipping just fine.

The fuel keg bottle is well built and very solid. You could probably bounce it off the ground without putting a dent in it, but, I wouldn't recommend it. It might go "Boom". The brass connector is really solid also. But, that bleeder valve. Oh! That bleeder valve! I've purchased eight of these bottles , two from this vendor, and four from a local vendor. I've already had to return two bottles because of that bleeder valve. I had no problem getting the defective bottle replaced from the Amazon vendor, nor one bottle from my local vendor. The Amazon return was quick and easy. Just make sure that you vent all of the propane from your bottle before you return it. But, my issue is with that cheaply made bleeder valve. It appears that the little piece that turns to open the bleeder valve is made of some type of aluminum or pot metal. It can already be white with oxidation when you receive the bottle. Several of my "new" bottles were in that condition. One that I bought stopped working at the first opening of the bleeder valve. It hissed with escaping air for about one second and then stopped like it was clogged. I bought another one that worked the very first time that I filled the bottle. The second time I tried to fill it, it started venting, and then just stopped. It was like the turn valve just snapped off intrnally. It would never open again when I turned the valve. So, the Fuel Keg folks need to take another look at their design and make the bleeder valve a little more robust. In the mean time, I would recommend being gentle when trying to open the bleeder valve. You can't force it. It either opens or it doesn't. Just start filling the bottle, and turn on the bleeder valve until you hear it hissing, and hold it there until it's filled. Don't over turn the valve. The good thing is that they can be returned if defective. And when they do work, they work very well, and they make refilling the bottle a quick and easy task.

These work great. This system is much better than trying to fill the bottles you get in the store.

Mr. Heater Store: Mr. Heater Fuel Keg Refillable 1Lb. Propane Cylinder, DOT Certified This product is a U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) certified refillable one pound propane cylinder. This propane cylinder is vastly superior to the Coleman-pattern disposable propane cylinders (which really are not designed to be refilled but many people choose to duel with death and refill them). This product may be legally refilled, using the proprietary Mr. Heater Fuel Keg Refill Kit, and then transported in one’s vehicle for use wherever and whenever the user desires. These cylinders are made from quality materials, are designed to last for a very long time, and they have a superior interlock system for ensuring that the cylinders are easily and properly refilled without the possibility of being overfilled. The Mr. Heater Fuel Keg cylinders should be refilled using the proprietary refill adapter (Mr. Heater product F200049; please see ASIN: B0CVR1213L) which interfaces directly with the Fuel Keg propane cylinders and their proprietary interlock system. The use of the proprietary refill adapter is necessary so that the interlocked vent system will be operable to ensure that the Fuel Keg cylinders are fully fueled without the possibility of overfilling the cylinders. Overfilled cylinders are dangerous because they may vent propane gas as the temperature rises which may precipitate a fire or explosion hazard. I like these cylinders very much. They will have a long life due to their quality construction and they will pay for themselves in reduced propane costs. The valve mechanism is very well made and very robust. They are safe to use and safe to refill. There is one other thing to consider. If there is ever a problem with a Mr. Heater product, the Mr. Heater Customer Service operation is always there to make it right. I rate them at 100% because of my previous contacts with their organization. They are really great to deal with.

Zeer tevreden mee

Gas bottle arrived completely empty ! Very unhappy as expensive gas !

I bought 5 bottles and the refill kit. On filling the bottles I found that 1 of them was NOT doing what the others had done. The faulty one did not vent. Unfortunately for me it was the first one I tried to fill. So I mucked about checking all the connections. I was quite miffed thinking it was the new style of connection we now have. Anyway I tried another bottle and it vented/hissed, I could hear gas going in and all was well. I mucked around with that first bottle checked the vent as much as I could, made sure the vent hole was open, I could see the vent plunger moving outwards. But no improvement. I could feel that it had taken a small amount of gas. I was thinking that even though it had not vented some gas had been forced in from the larger fill bottle. To confirm this I connected it to a stove and yes it did have some gas. Given all this I wanted to return the bottle and started the process, but of course I even if I let it burn of it's contents through a stove i could not guarantee that it would be devoid of any gas. I spoke with customer service about my concerns of potentially sending a bomb through the mail and they agreed on a one of refund and I was left to get rid of the bottle. Don't let his put you off, the other 4 worked beautifully. They sure do take some gas. I just happened to get a dud in the mix, which has been dealt with. I guess I think on what to do with it. update. I removed the vent assembly and carefully re-connected the bottle to the refill system. I gave it a very small injection of gas to see if in fact it would went out. No luck, whatever is wrong is inside the bottle. I had a half hearted crack at taking the bottle apart. But the brass fitting is very well glued in. I think I'll leave it be.

Happy with
