And you can now get the adapters that fit to your car to look like a tank fill point that simply has a braided steel hose on the other end that screws into the cylinder. My friend has one fitted to his car.

Hmmm may have to invest, although last week away the only gas I used was the bbq as used my double electric hotplate for everything else. (sick of paying rip off prices for fuel)

[ Incidentally this has come up on other forums. The overwhelming response is don't do it, refilling gas bottles is too dangerous. Certainly an overfilled bottle is dangerous. ]

 Whats the difference between refilling a gas bottle and filling up your tank in car ?

I have just bought some calor gas as my bottle had ran out. So I said to the shopkeeper
"exchange bottle of propane 6kg please"
"Certainly that will be £23 please"
"Crikey thats expensive I paid £18.50 last time"
"Oh yes calor has put the price up"
"Where is your exchange bottle"
"I have left it by the cage"
"Ohh its the light weight one that is £25.71 then please"
I cant believe how much Gas has gone up.
Come back Dick Turpin.
And why should you pay more to fill a calor lite when its the same amount of gas 6kg.
OK rant over.

I'm with Skiddly on this one - we only use between 10 = 15kg per year, so I don't think it's worth taking any chance to save such a small amount.

I wonder how that compares to the cost of your household gas which is measured using kilowatt hours I think. We don't have gas so unsure what they use, but know it has something to do with the calorific rate. Any one know how to concert litres to kwh? The litres will need to be converted to cubic feet first and then to cuibic metres. A question for the maths geniuses.
