I have seen it done with the calor gas bottles you just need buy an adapter.

Just remember don't do this near any heat source, cig, combi boiler so on, I myself would do it outside.
Fantastic, thanks for the link. Have you tried this? If so did you get a good result. This guy mention an adapter you can buy which seems to make it easier:

There is a LPG refill adapter for sale on ebay £38.00 this will give you the option of filling your big gas bottles (in any garage that sells lpg ) fill up for a fraction of the cost of exchanging your bottle.....just type in LPG refill adaptor ....rock on amigo's
That idea scares me, I was told that the little Coleman canisters had a use once membrane on the head that once the canister was screwed onto the cooker it should not be unscrewed???, but that was a long time ago so perhaps things are different now?
Some cartridges have a resealable top. Maybe this would be best with one of those.
You can now re-use them NR screw on screw off as much as you want.

No I have not tried it yet because my Coleman canister still has gas in it.

I will try get hold of the calor gas bottle refill adapter give that a go.
Ta very much nemesis

I strongly advise research first and apply common sense.
