The small bottles are not designed to be refilled. they have no
provision for venting over filling, nor are they marked for it. That
said, there are adapaters available to fill them from a 20# tank. If
you've got the fittings for it, filling a 20# tank from the storage
tank is no different than a forklift cylinder. (It's been years since
I did this. I think the forklift cylinders have a different gas
fitting than 20# bottles. You need to use the internal left-hand
threads on the 20# bottle to refill it, not the external right-hand
ACME threads.
