Dennis, Does this set up allow you to use the small disposable 16 oz Coleman bottles as well?

Also, I know the "inside" of my propane tank "filler" valve is also threaded and takes the smaller filler nozzle at the propane station.

Why not set up an adapter from a standard coleman bottle to go directly into the filler valve? Seem much simpler as a back up.

Doug
