Is the main aim to be able to "hedge" against price rises?
That is, to have a very large fixed tank and top it up when gas is cheap and avoid sudden price rises?
20/20 hindsight now but bulk buying gas last summer could perhaps have saved money.The next question is, how much cheaper (if at all) is cut rate summer LPG compared to current inflated mains gas? Especially as we are seeing artificial pricing at the moment due to price caps.

More just wondering aloud, really.
# LPG is linked to price of crude oil
Plus has always been more expensive than mains gas .... I converted from LPG to mains ... just needed a new gas valve & burner jet.
Do you *really* want to pay even more for your gas supply?
One annoyance where I live is that we are in the danger evacuation zone for one of the UK's high pressure gas pipelines buried 18' down with a
50' "no dig" corridor either side and weekly helicopter leak checks.However, there is no mains gas in the village nor is there ever likely to be. Choice here is electric, coal, wood, oil or LPG.
A house with a badly done DIY LPG install blew up spectacularly not far from me in the 1990's and the burnt out blackened shell was left as a warning to others...
Is there ever a 'non-violent' gas explosion ?
Meanwhile there have been several bad fires in recently-built blocks of flats where the fire has torn through the 'professionally built' structure in minutes. Like the Hamptons development near Cheam
You mean you have not tested all these possibilities, as a kid ? :-)
