I used to refill the one pounders but experienced about a 40% fall out rate where the valve would either leak after the refill or leak the first time I reused them. That was way too high for being safe, so I gave up. I did buy two five pound refillable tanks, perhaps two years apart. I remember paying $45 each and gosh, today they are twice that. Refilling is cheap but now both tanks need to be recertified and I don’t care to do that due to the short period the price buys you after the recertification. I have since added a quick disconnect valve and port to my high pressure side of my horizontal tanks and attach a 25 foot hose to it. The whole thing was purchased from a RV dealer and I installed it myself. The hose is usually long enough to run to the picnic table to run an outside grill.
