you mean apart from the very warning on the can your trying to refill?

and since you asked oh so nicely....
Try this on from the work cover documenation

Refillable gas cylinders, such as liquid petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders for barbecues or carbon dioxide (CO
2
) cylinders
for home brewing, must only be filled if they have a current, legible test mark of a certified gas cylinder test station.
The test mark indicates that the cylinder has been designed, design-registered, inspected, tested and can be legally
filled or refilled in accordance with Australian Standard (AS) 2030.

heres another

All LPG cylinders sold in Australia must meet strict specifications before they can be certified as safe to use for ten years.

I'll let you find out which of the 7 states/territories governemtal regulations pages I pulled that from (its pretty much verbatim on all of them)

Portable cylinders can only be refilled legally if they have a valid ten year stamp on the collar, neck or foot ring. The stamp indicates the last time the cylinder was tested and shows the letter T followed by the month and year.
(thats the definition of the required date marking for the test and its from the standards)

The coleman style cans do not have
A, the stamp that certifies them as being safe for LPG and refilling
b, a operable control valve (its essentially a schreader valve)
c, a filling vent.
d, design approval for refilling or even having LPG in them
(I'll let you troll the regs to work out where b-d come from)

apart from that...

thats the instruction sheet that comes with them...

and nothing about that seems dodgy to you?

apart from the fact that it specifically says as point 6 that you dont use it to fill a different gas? (which you are if you're filling from generic LPG BBQ gas bottles)

or that you cant transport refilled cylinders?
