I'm with BillyW. I carry 4 bottles in a metal case along with the adaptor. I don't even try to get them full, no need with extra bottles available.
I try to set the empty bottles in a shady or cooler place than the full cylinder. I listen and can hear when the gas is flowing. Once the flow stops or one minute (checked via watch second hand) I stop filling and move to the next bottle.
Always check for leaks. If I have a bottle that won't seal I'll leave it hooked up to the grill this seals it from the atmosphere. Or I'll leave it burning until empty to help clean the grill and then dispose of it. If I catch bottles on sale I rotate out all of my old ones. I've had 2 bottles than wouldn't seal in 15 yrs.
