Hi

I have several butane gas bottles in my garage aswell as several on my van.

Anyway, tha plan is to trade them and get 2 of the new lightweight bp ones, plus adaptors.

Due to cost of the outlay, goes anyone know if i can get a refund on these non used butane bottles as i know when you buy a gas bottle, you always pay a deposit for the bottle.

Any ideas?

Some places like tool hire shops will swap big for small or vice versa as we did that once.  Quite a while ago so not sure if calor still allow it. 

Try local tip ours has a few down there, just see if you can swap your large for small.

I think you need to have the original hire agreement to get your deposit back.

I've often swapped bottles for different sizes and type when going for a refill.

Hi, I have swapped two large bottles for 7kg ones this week at a calor depot, They told me it's no problem swapping between sizes all you need is a empty bottle .

Watch out when buying from a boot sale, I saw some on offer a few weeks ago - in sizes that Calor no longer do, they must have been yonks old!!

We had to change our bottles recently when we got the new van, but I dont think we were charged for it, we just bought the bigger bottle.  Not sure if they still charge the "deposit".   Although I do know in the 30 odd years we've been using, buying and exhanging Calor bottles - we've never yet had any form of refund from them at all.

I sell calor, and there is no problem swopping one size for another when you buy your refil, your contract is for a bottle not the size, you can go from a 7kg to a 47kg all you are buying is the gas in it

not being silly ken can i swop a 47kg for a 7kg a friend moving house says he has a large empty bottle for free?it will save my embarrassment when i go to change it.ta
