OT: LPG PRICES

[John Rumm]

It seems there should be a subtitle to that page where Calor warns that it might also seriously damage their profitability!

[Harry Bloomfield]

misterroy laid this down on his screen :

You are allowed to refill self refillable bottles. They use such systems on motorhomes and caravans, I think the name Safefill might give some clues.

[FMurtz]

Get a fork truck or digger gas bottle and fill it at the gas, petrol station.

[Brian Reay]

There are several, Safefill (as you say), Gasit, is another. While refilling is cheap, the initial cost is high- a Safefill 10kg cylinder is about £175, with a 10 year nominal life, you need to factor that in.

I see motorhome users singing the praises of such systems in terms of savings but I wonder how much propane they use. We've been motorhoming 6 years and not spent £175, on propane. (We only use gas for cooking.)

Of course, for motorhomers there is also the advantage you don't have the issue of changing calor bottles in Europe- where it simply isn't possible. However, carrying (say) a French bottle is much cheaper than converting to refillable.

I've considered converting but more for convenience than cost in our case.

I'm sure you could just let it go unburnt & no-one would ask many questions...
