Also it is illegal to transport the containers after they have been filled.
Legality seems to come up in a lot of topics discussed on here, and I’m curious who’s out policing the illegal transportation of propane cylinders?!?:scratch:
I may be wrong, but if I get pulled over for speeding, I doubt the cop is going add an extra charge for me having an illegally filled propane cylinder in the back seat of my truck.🤣

How does one tell if it has been refilled? LOL! Sniff test it?

@Firpo keep in mind, that any cylinder that’s filled/refilled should not have more than 80% its stated volume on board. Meaning, you’ll likely never get 20 lbs in a 20 lb cylinder. It’ll only legally be filled to 16 lbs. not a big deal, but will change your calculations some.
Also, cylinders not designed to refill are no longer DOT approved once refilled. For whatever that’s worth.
About a $500 fine if you get caught transporting them.
