Works fine but I recommend a small scale to check the bottles as you fill. DO NOT overfill the little bottles and then store in the van. They will vent the overpressure when the van warms up. At the least a smelly van, and at worst the right concentration for flame. I have used the refill coupler as a bleeder on my empty bottles to make sure they were empty and then weighed them and marked them with the weight. Then added no more than 16oz or 14 oz depending on the bottle. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• jimt Planned insanity is best.
