Alpenglow Gear says:
The Alpenflow is an ultralight transfer valve for fuel conisters, usable in the backcountry or at home.
You can power the transfer with sunshine or a refrigerator, regardless of fuel level. Manage your fuel reserves, take from partial canisters, or divide a larger canister among friends!
Instructions:
- Warm Your Donor Canister and/or Cool Your Recipient Canister
- This transfer requires a pressure difference to push the upper liquid fuel down into the lower canister.
- The donor canister can be warmed in the sun, never use an oven or flame
- The larger the temperature difference, the faster the transfer will occur - Place Warm Canister on TOP, Cool Canister on BOTTOM (no threading needed)
- Ensuring the Stack is Vertical & Aligned, Press Down Hard for 5 - 10 seconds
- Repeat as Needed, especially if filling a near-empty lower canister.
-Once the warm donor fuel mixes & warms the lower liquid fuel sufficiently, the transfer will slow & eventually stop.
Warnings & Safety:
- To mitigate the risk of liquid butane expanding when canister is heated, never fill beyond the original fill level (~80%)
- Fuel canisters do not meet D.O.T. requirements for commercial transportation after refilling (a.k.a. it’s illegal for businesses to transport refilled canisters)
- Never use a flame or oven to heat canisters
- Never fill canisters with pure propane, and only transfer “winter mix” fuel (70% butane / 30% propane) into canisters rated for winter mix fuel.
