For travel enthusiasts, such a device as a gas stove is one of the most necessary, because it is on this device that you can quickly cook food almost anywhere. A bul is a summer house or a folding table by the car, it does not matter - such a plate acts in a single image. And autonomy from a centralized gas supply system is ensured by a small propane cylinder. However, the gas in it is not eternal and sooner or later its amount in the tank will not be enough for cooking. In such cases, a gas cylinder is refilled. How this is done, let's take a look.
Installation location
Initially, the container is placed upside down on a flat and solid surface. In order not to damage the valve, one of the most effective ways of “hanging” is the method using strong ropes. For portable cylinders (as a rule, their volume is about 5 liters), many manufacturers provide a stand in advance for such cases. It is already included with this device. If there is no such stand, you have two ways out of the situation - to make this element yourself or use a cord to lift it. In general, there are a lot of options for hanging the cylinder in the upside down position. You can use any method, however, remember that the position of the container should be as stable and reliable as possible.
About refueling system
After that, you need to collect the elements of the filling system. The device with which to refuel a gas cylinder consists of 2 hoses, one adapter, a threaded head and a valve. At the same time, you should not use plumbing parts, as this will not give a guarantee for the long and perfect operation of the filling system mechanism. All adapters, taps and cuffs should be selected from gas equipment devices (preferably from devices that interact with liquid nitrogen). In this case, it is undesirable to use a reducer in the system, since the filling of a gas cylinder will be very, very long.
How to put this whole device into one? First we will need to put an adapter on the thread of the balloon. Here, to perform the work, you will need a special valve that regulates the gas supply. The cylinder valve itself is not recommended to be used, since it simply fails when performing such work. Next, you need to take care of installing the head on the gas thread. To do this, you can borrow the mechanism from a conventional heating pad or a torch. By the way, the head taken from the latter type of device is less expensive to install, since it already has everything you need to attach to the hose. With a burner you have to suffer a little. As for the collet, here it is best to use metal or an alloy, but in no case plastic. Everything, at this stage, a gas cylinder is refueling. As practice shows, creating like a refueling tank takes no more than 1 day of free time.
How much does it cost to refuel a gas cylinder with professional equipment?
If you do not want to make such a device for self-fueling, you can use the services of companies. Now in almost every city there is a gas cylinder refueling point that provides similar services. One refueling costs 200-300 rubles.
