One time alter freezing and refilling a cylinder I put it back in the freezer to lat it get cold again and then filled it some more. It worked so well that the cylinder bulged out some when it got warm. That was the last time I did that. It’s best to fill them from a big tank that is no less then ¼ full, after the big tank get ¾ empty it doesn’t fill the small cylinders so well.

I bought the refill adaptor for $13.00 at Harbor Tools.
There must be some hazard to refilling. I was looking at a propane cannister yesterday and it said on it that it was illegal on the Federal (US gov't I mean) level to transport a refilled propane cannister. That being said, it sure looks like the cannister was designed to be refilled. There's a little port below the main screw on port that sure looks like it's meant to be used to refill the cannister.
