So I'm the only one who has had a new green 1# cylinder leak? I've never tried to re-use these, always just bought another green bottle at a hardware store. Used to always carry several of these in the worthless fridge that sits behind the passenger seat. But after one trip that included several altitude changes from sea level to 10,000 and back, and forth, I opened that fridge to find one of the untouched new canisters had released its contents. Geesh, made a mess of other stored items in there...   .... I have never seen a new canister leak in 30 years, but I certainly have seen refilled ones leak. I think we need to remember again, that these things are meant to be disposable. The more you use them, the more likely they are to leak. Probably a good time to mention too that we should all have carbon monoxide and propane detectors on board, which reminds me I need to replace mine this year! Troy
