Coleman Gas Air Pump Adapter?

Where can I find an adapter for Coleman stoves and Lanterns that allow me to pump them up with a external air pump? I want to use my bicycle co2 pump when camping to allow quick air refill instead of the hand pumping.

Update:

I'm talking about Coleman fuel white gas not propane

    Those little pumps take more in technique than in effort, but if you want to try an adapter, here is how I would do it:

    Buy a spare-replacement fuel cap. Then drill/tap for one of these:

    There are adapters that allow the smaller tanks to be refilled from bigger tanks but for what your thinking of doing I have not seen or know of any such thing. The problem with refilling them, the small green tanks, is that there is no way to verify the capacity when full and then your walking around with a potential bomb, that's why on the little green canisters is a warning label telling you it's illegal to transport refilled canisters.

    There is another option you can get portable compressors that can inflate anything some are battery operated and some you can plug into a car's outlet.

    @again I have not seen anything that would work for that. Again also the psi of a co2 canister may be to much for the system you only need a dozen pumps to get lanterns, stoves etc. up and running. Also co2 is non flammable I don't see that as good for the mix you need oxygen in the mix not carbon dioxide.

    @what d--- @-$ thumbs down good information

    I do remember something on the market years ago, a fitting that replaced the gas cap that adapted to a co2 cartridge. It had to be a looooong time ago. I'm 61. If it was any good or safe, it would still be around.

    These bike pump adapters are currently available on eBay from seller pitmandh. Search for "COMBINATION FUEL CAP/PRESSURE GAUGE/SHRADER VALVE"

    The device that Bobo mentioned above which uses a CO2 cartridge to keep a lantern pressurized is no longer manufactured but occasionally for sale, and is called the PRESH-R-MATIC.
