Mike, I have the "refill" fitting too and use it, but...

one would keep in mind that refilling numerous times can cause wear to the rubber seal in the small bottles and they may eventually leak (not a good thing for those stored in a locker). A bit of synthetic grease wiped on the filler valve needle helps in this regard. An added solution is a short section of perforated white pvc pipe fixed to a stern stanchion in which the one pounders can be stacked for outside storage - I noticed a number of these setups last winter in the Bahamas. We have our stern grill plumbed into our main system but still find the small bottles useful.
