I use the camper style propane bottles on my exterior grill.  I always disconnect the cylinder after each use.  I wonder.. has anyone ever heard if the seal on these green cylinders has ever leaked? Jim Gano

We've been using 16 oz propane bottles extensively for 15 years, and by that I mean constantly use them. We've yet to have a problem with leaks, either at the bottle or at the stove. A couple of times we have had a cylinder exhaust out of the pressure relief valve after we refill it, but allowed to depressurize and both times stopped with no further problem. *RUDY & JILL SECHEZ* *BRINEY BUG-a 34' Sail-Assisted Trawler * *850-832-7748* Savana Ga TRAWLER TRAINING and ANCHORING CONSULTANTS ANCHORING-"A Ground Tackler's Apprentice"- E-Book or Hard Copy > > <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

Yes, they can leak. I used to keep some green 1-lb camping stove propane cylinders in my garage. The last time I tried to use one from my supply, it was empty. Probably 5+ years old. So if you store them on a boat, it must be outside the hull where any leakage will go overboard.
