Hi all......Found a 907 cylinder in my Dad's garage that we reckon dates back to about the mid seventies. Cylinder appears to be in good condition and is at least half full. Can anyone tell me if the gas will be ok and will I have any problems exchanging the bottle.

Hi dave57.

             That is a lucky find, will only cost you £18 for an exchange, which has got to be better than £54 had you not found that bottle!. I will be interested to see what my refills work out at in France this year, even with the strong Euro, probabaly still still half the cost of UK prices!. good old rip of Britain.

Don't know about Gaz, but in my my old job I used to deal with BOC gas deliveries.  Their cylinders hava a date of manufacture code stamped on the top.  I remember once shifting an Acetylene cylinder that was knocking on 60 years old.

Last year, we found refills in France were no cheaper than the UK. Sadly, with the falling pound, probably cheaper in the UK now.

My gran, (now 92) went into a care home last year and so my dad cleared her house and a few odd bits of camping gear got donated to me. Namely a campingaz super bluet stove and lumogaz gas light. Both the stove and the light were still attached to half empty gas bottles, (the small ones you can still buy for stoves and lights where the bottle is punctured by the stove when you first attach the stove or light.) Both the light and stove were used last year and the old gas worked perfectly fine. I was also left a few other spare cannisters of gas which also worked great when the half full bottles ran out.
The point is the last time my father can remember my gran camping was before my oldest sister was born which was late 1966. He has photo's of my gran with my mum heavily pregnant outside a large walled ridge tent in france summer 1966.
I wouldn't exchange the bottle until you have used up all the remaining gas.

I inherited a double burner Campingaz stove from my parents, which was last used in the late 60s when they ditched the PTC Igloo tent in favour of a small motorhome. I used it a few times in 2003 when tent camping, then I sold the stove to a lady on here who's Dad was renovating an old boat and wanted one. I carried on using the gas cylinder on my parabolic heater, then exchanged for a full one when it was empty.

The only way it wouldn't be useable was if the cylinder had rusted through - but in that case the gas would have gone anyway.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.

 Bear in mind it is a Manchester United flag and you know their supporters are little on the thick side.

Well, what's rare about caster as a Man Utd fan is that he actually lives in Manchester.
