This link will explain the different cylinders and where they are available.

Camping Gaz

Sometimes you can scrounge a cylinder down at the recycling yard and then go and exchange it for a full one at the local canping shop. This saves having to pay the deposit on a cylinder.

The 901`s are tiny and you`ll be hard pressed to find refills for them. 904`s are good if you want to take two cylinders and but save space, but 907`s are definately the most common. One of them would last me a two week trip if I was lucky...that`s why I take two, so I can run the cooker off one and the fridge or barbecue off the other and not run out during mid-cook!

Whatever you get, don`t lose the little screw-in carry handle. You need this when you exchange the empty for a full cylinder.

Hi

Most camping shops sell the 907 or refill them if you can get hold of the bottle from the tip or look in your yellow pages for your local gas suppliers, ours deliver to our house, also the camping gas website says argos do them which supprised me.

We have the 907 and we put it in our fire bucket which also goes in our bucket with lid so they are very easy pack.
