Campingaz dont do orange bottles - only blue. Your orange bottle must be a calor propane bottle. You cant exchange calor bottles for campingaz

Forklift propane works a different way- its drawn off as a liquid, not a vapour- theres a tube inside that goes to the bottom of the bottle- the liquid is vapourised by the vapouriser up near the engine. The fitting on top is different too- unlike anything else.

Hi j.gordon5-- you are exactly correct.....NEVER MESS WITH GAS OF ANY KIND....it is just not worth the trouble. Stick to what you should have and the correct regulator and pipe and all will be well. Gas doesn't just burn -- carbon monoxide is something else, the silent killer. Good Luck, Gary

As per V8trikemids' post, forklift gas bottles are liquid take-off, as opposed to vapour take-off - denoted by a black collar.
It may not be a straight swap as with regular Calor Gas bottles? Try it and see.
If they refuse a swap, don't accept a full forklift bottle as it won't do what you want it to do.
