Don't... really, don't.

Very bad idea,in order to fill a tank you will need a syphon tubed supply and the various bits of plumbing to fill,chill and dump the back-pressure.Fire extiguishers are not designed for this in that the valve assembly is of the wrong type.It is simply not worth the effort or danger-many years ago I saw a valve fail mechanically and the 20oz bottle at the end of the fill remote become a highly agitated helicopter.

Well unless your not bothered by a 5kg hunk of metal flying around your house and causing alot of damage to persons or items you may have in your house...
Go ahead
