Hi everyone

I was given some gift vouchers for Halfords and bought one of these

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_162474_langId_-1_CarSelectorCatalogId__CarSelectorGroupId__varient__categoryId_31306_crumb_63502-33937_parentcategoryrn_31306

When I unpacked it, it was a bit bewildering as to what kind of gas I need, or even if I need a regulator, like I have on the BBQ. Any ideas, as the peeps in Halfords sounded baffled when I rang them!

Cheers.

How long should a 907 canister last - I ask because ours recently only lasted a trip of 4 nights and yes we were cooking for 7 people but only one of the breakfasts was cooked so it was the evening meals mainly

Am I doing something wrong (we did turn the gas off after use each time) or is this about right

Not sure of the definative answer to that concerning burn time but i would expect it to last longer then that, we used a 907 for a ten day trip and cooked breakfast and dinner on it every day, as well as copious cups of tea, i reckon we used about half the bottle, are you sure it was full when you started, and yes, just in case you have a small leak you should really turn off at the bottle when not in use

Just as an afterthought, you refer to "907 canister" rather then bottle, you are referring to one of these i take it 

Thanks caster

Yes we are talking about the same canister/bottle

and clearly I am not getting the same usage - do dodgy suppliers exist, perhaps I need to switch supplier ? I will try one more from them first and then see where I stand

thanks again

good point caster, I like your logical approach

then at least I will know if I am being robbed, if not (which is likely) then its down to us wasting it somewhow (unless the wife has developed some weird gas sniffing habit ?)
