Preparing for living out of my RAV4 Hybrid and I have limited storage space. I'd ~love~ to use my one burner Coleman gasoline/white gas stove as gasoline is easy to find and it has more BTUs than propane, but it's not advisable to store it in a hot car. I've never filled your typical 20lbs propane tank in my life. Two questions:
If I only had that 1lb refillable tank, how long would you guess that little propane tank last when using it 2x per day to boil a few cups of water (not heat)?
Also, has anyone tried to refill one of these tiny 1lbers at a gas station? I wonder if the attendant would know how to do it or reject the nontraditional size? Is there a minimum the attendant will be bothered with to go outside and fill or do they turn you away for such little business ($$$)? I see the tank is DOT certified so I assume the refilling process would be the same as refilling a larger tank.
