Just reading the latest Calor News, they will exchange an existing 6 or 7 Kgm gas bottles to the lighter "Calor Lite".

Calor News

I would be interested to see if the suppliers pass this on.

Just changed one of our bottles for Calor lite today.

Phoned 7 before I could find a stockist with one as they are in short supply due to demand.

They used to change any size bottle so it looks like they're restricting it to 6&7 Kg bottles.

Looked into that- but calor lite is more expensive pro-rata, and my local supplier said there isnt enough calor lite bottles to go around at the mo- ( calor forgot most people like a 'spare')

ps- is there a 'fill it yourself' system in this country yet??

Must admit we love BP Light because you can actually 'see' what is left and all HomeBases stock them - we usually refill on their 10% days.

If you google calor gas and go to FAQ it says they exchange different size bottles except patio gas.
