Sorry for your father, but it wasn't propanes fault, it was user error. I fill propane tanks and I've never heard of one killing anyone, it's always some yokel who doesn't know how to transport a tank safely that gets killed. Also, AFAIK, IANAL, it's legal in every state in the USA to fill a propane tank that has a new style OPD valve on it (overfill protection device) and they're completely safe and INTENDED to be refilled. I have filled everything from a 12 pound backpackers tank to 12,000 pounds of gas for a hot air baloon event with no trouble. Get your facts straight. p.s. these tanks will be in the US in 8-12 months. they have a very high quality valve on them. -Hank So um…. not sure what country you’re from Jason, but you’re about 100% dead wrong.

This kind of propane tanks are almost obiquous in Portugal and everyone is getting one of this. Well, it may take a while until it becomes available in the US or some other country, except Portugal.

We simply return the empty tank for a full one, paying only the gas. if you have no tank to exchange, then you have to pay a returnable fee.

It is legal (at least I know it is in California and Texas) to refill a propane tank, but the older the tank the more likely the valve is to fail (and without any obvious warning signs). My father died from asphyxiation when he unhooked an old tank from his grill and put it in his car to take in for a refill. The tank leaked, and he was overcome by the gas and died. I only use charcoal now. Propane grills are just too dangerous. If this tank uses the same kind of valve system that other tanks do, you are putting your life in danger by using it.
