Refill Disposable Propane Tank from a Standard BBQ Cylinder

Weight the cylinder to check the results:

On the first image you see a coleman type tank filled at 89% (797g total weight)
797g (total weight) - 384g (empty) = 413g Propane Weight
413g / 465g = .888 or 89% full.

On the second image you see metal base type tank filled at 87% (822g total weight)
822g (total weight) - 417g (empty) = 405g Propane Weight
405g / 465g = .870 or 87% full.

I never refilled a cylinder more than 100% but if you do it, I suggest to put it on a gaz burning appliance so the extra gas will escape to the safe weight.
