Bryce Rigney demonstrates in Agadir, Morocco how Kandu fills its cooking gas bottles. Filling propane tanks can be a challenge when sailing around the world. The simplest method is gravity. Only 75% effective, it is often the only option, when legal, if a tank can be rented, adaptors made, etc. This is not the best way, it just the way we’ve learned through trial and error. Be careful, be smart. Don’t blow your boat up, or worse, yourself or someone else. Hope you find the demo helpful.
This video was posted on the world sailor’s website noonsite with an article written by Chuck Hoolihan of sv Jacaranda around the same time Kandu’s Gravity Propane Fill video was completed. In noonsite’s “General” heading. Here is the noonsite.com link: Refilling your gas bottles from a larger container.
