You can't do it that way. Once the pressures in each cylinder equalize you won't get flow. You need to pump it.

The small adapter being sold fills the 1lb or 2lb. tanks with gaseous LPG only, unless you can invert the large tank. The OPD valve will probably prevent any flow of LP. Then you'd need the scales to prevent overfilling and blowing the overpressure safety valve. The final analysis is; It's not worth the effort and risk. Spend the $1.67 at Wal*Mart and buy a new 1# or 2# cylinder.
