[QUOTE="Retired-Guy, post: 205297, member: 1735"] I bought a new one pound tank, weighed it on a digital kitchen scale, and then proceeded to fill several completely empty tanks that had been stored in a chest freezer. To refill them, I attached them to a full 20 pounder, tipped it upside down, and let her buck for a minute. I was surprised how consistent the weights of the refilled tanks were and nearly identical to the weight of the new tank. One was actually a bit too heavy so I bled it a bit. I was skeptical about refilling tanks because I had used some of a friend's a few years ago and they didn't seem to last long at all. I haven't used any of the ones that I refilled yet so will be curious to see if they are as good as a new one. [/QUOTE]
