I've jus bought a double burner stove having moved up from single camping gaz arrangements and want to use a larger bottle.

I have a big butane Calor Gas bottle for my patio barbeque and recently was given an empty 4.5kg butane Shell Gas bottle. I thought I could swap it for a full one and avoid the bottle deposit.

But I notice that the top of the Shell Gas bottle is different to the Calor Gas and the regulator on the Calor Gas won't fit the Shell gas.

Do Shell still do bottle gas?

Have I just got an old bottle?

Would I be better of getting a 4.5 Calor Gas.

What happens when I'm in France or Spain and I run out?

Will I ned a different regulaor Or will the UK one fit?

I would check out your tip or car boot sales or ebay for a used Camping Gaz bottle 904 or the bigger 907 and get the CG regulator for your double burner. They are more portable than the Calor 4.5 and widely available abroad. We use a couple of 904s so always have one spare and they dont take up much room in the car. Check out the sizes on the CG website.
