The fittings he is talking about are different from the extend a flow/stay fittings. I have a similar adapter that connects to the fill and was going to try using it with a barbq tank, just haven't gotten around to testing it. I am hoping it will have enough pressure to open the valve once my main tank is empty. We'll see.

One of them does at least, and calls the kit "Extend A Stay." mcneely ---- Edward Maglott <emaglott3@GMAIL.COM> wrote: I found a good deal on the connector and valve that would > go on the end of the fill hose at a propane filling station.
