Many thanks for enquiring about the recertification on the Gaslow cylinders. As I see Louise has informed you correctly on the procedure for exchange of your cylinder. You are correct that the cylinder you receive back will be a cylinder that has been recertified, tested for another 15 years’ service, by doing this you will not have to wait for your cylinder to be inspected and be without a cylinder. However and this is the reason we have not advertised any information yet on the exchange, even though we have all of the process and costs in place! Is that the standards for LPG cylinders will be changing in the very near future, once the standards are updated we may choose to go a different route for the exchange. I Will not currently divulge what we have planned when the standards change as this is still subject to change until the standard has passed, and would not want any misinformation entering into circulation due to changes of the standards in the near future. However this will impact on what Gaslow and other refillable LPG cylinder companies do in the future regarding recertification. I can assure you that by waiting for the standards to change is all that is holding us back releasing the ”Exchange process and cost” statement, and would not want to have to amend a statement that has already been released due to a standards change.

the only cylinders that are NOT refillable are disposable ones, which really are cartridges,

I assume you really mean that not all cylinders are refillable by the general public, in which case I agree. but the discussion point you raised was that they might make refillable cylinders a thing of the past - I think you meant refillable by the public.

the cylinders are actually the same cylinders, its just the type of gas valve group/manifold that is connected to the cylinder that is different.

I think there are too many vehicles fuelled by lpg (inc fork lift trucks)to see cylinders refillable by members of the public being phased out

It seems to me that so few places do LPG anymore. I have looked at the maps and apps. And they don't seem to put them in new petrol stations or replace them when the pump breaks.

There is one filling station in Gloucester then I think you got to go to Bristol or Chippenham. And will those specialist places always be around?

I only mention this because it never gets a mention.

I guess that you only need to fill up once or twice a year, so a forty minute each way trip to fill up perhaps isn't a big deal.
