So, I am killing some time and I went to Dick's Sporting Goods. I noticed on the shelf the 1lb propane Coleman canisters with a "green key":

Looks like an easy way to de-pressurize and recycle the propane tanks (other than refilling them via the adapter tools)

Wonder if they'll make a similar, easy to use tool for the Lind valve type fuel containers?

Maybe I can sell green 10 penny nails and an instruction sheet for a buck each.

You could. But the Coleman one now comes with the new canisters (free!), is easily recognized and is easy to use.

Your penny nails do cost a small amount of money, don't stick into the canister to show that is in fact de-pressurized, and aren't as easy to use.
