Not legal..
if your going to do that do it right, buy the replacement adaptor hose that takes the place of the disposable bottle and then use a 1 or 1.5kg refillable bottle.

This has probably been covered but if you use these Coleman Disposable Lightweight Bottle - 465g - BCF
Then buy one of these
Maccoupler Propane Refill Adapter LP Small Coleman GAS Cylinder Bottle Coupler | eBay
These work with normal Australian gas bottles and allow you to refill your disposable Coleman canisters.
A 9Kg bottle will refill one of these cannisters 15+times and at $10 a pop a considerable amount of money can be saved

Jesus get a life FFS! A tip to save money, if you don't like it don't do it, perfectly safe as its an adaptor made specifically for doing it. If its illegal at least quote the relevant laws instead of looking like a knob.

Wow, that looks dodgy as. Aren't most of the disposables isobutane? Not propane at all. Save lives not dollars.
I'll go with Blknight's recommendation.

Here we go. We need a popcorn smilie!

pleanty of people decant out of the larger cylinders........and yes its not legal woopie doo, i'm sure we all bend the rules from time to time
my only quesiton is does the coleman cylinder have a bleed screw? this ensure you don't overfill the cylinder, if it doesn't have a bleed sscrew than i would use that type of cylinder.......infact being an ex-gas fitter i don't de-cant full stop but if you have enough commonsence about ya than all good i guess
now lets talk wheel spacers

Supporterbugger the wheel spacers - lets talk about running tubeless radials on 'fender rims that clearly say "tubed tyre only"

The Coleman Cylinders have a PRV, you can bet with the American culture of sueing if one person got hurt they wouldn't sell them. It amazes me that no matter what you suggest the first person to jump up and down are the H&S nuts. Must be a blast living with them

No the Coleman cylinders are Propane.Originally Posted by bee utey

OK I'll elaborate on my principal objection.
To get liquid out of a 9kg bottle you have to invert it. If you fully invert a used bottle any debris in it will* come out with the liquid and foul up your valves. Therefore you need to hold the 9kg bottle a little off vertical with the valve not quite lowest. Then you're connecting a little bottle rigidly to a delicately balanced 9kg bottle and then you have to turn on the tap. After that you have to remember the exact sequence of fitting removal or liquid LPG squirts out and burns your skin. If you're going to do this trick, make your own adaptor hose using a POL connector and 1 metre hose, and an inline tap and a coleman connector. Then you can put the big bottle up on a stand, and handle the small cylinder separately from the big bottle. You can isolate the small cylinder before disconnecting the adaptor, after which you return the bottle the right way up and bleed off the liquid after turning off the bottle tap.
Example hose:

Oh and this trick is far better with household 45kg cylinders, they are much cheaper per unit gas than 9kg bottles.
BTW without a bleed screw you always have to totally empty the small cylinder and you'll only ever get around 1/2 a fill unless you leave it standing for hours and risk a 100% fill. Bleed screws on refillable bottles are there for two reasons, pressure bleeding to allow filling and full level checking.
(* voice of experience here, 9kg bottles make good jerrycans for LPG only vehicles and this is the commonest problem people meet with inverting bbq cylinders. Happened to my big brothers RR only last month.)
