DIY-How to refill mini fuel canisters - Nemesis - 26 April 2016
I been looking into this of late and I find it could be a huge saving on gas needs, this video will show you a simple way to refill the Coleman gas cartridge.

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:

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.

I strongly advise research first and apply common sense.
