Obviously there are the associated health and safety risks though with filling a pressurised container yourself but if your prepared to chance it go for it.

 stand corrected but i thought that the bottles must only be about 85% full in order to gas correctly,is there not a chance of overfilling the bottle at a garage.and how safe is it to do yourself and would it be allowed?

theres a little conversion chart on adapter i normally put 10 litres in rather than the stated 11 the filler is just like a car one twist and queese

If the OP is still having difficulties sourcing calor light, Dickinsons in Bradford have them in stock (I've exchanged one this morning) - Aire Valley Gas just around the corner from them could also have ordered me one in for later today, although they hadn't any in stock just when I called in.

This thread doesn't sound good for those of us calor-lite fans.  I hope that calor can sort it soon.

Here is a quotation from their website - seems fair enough if it works:

“We apologise to anyone this has affected and want to reassure caravanners, motorhomers and campers that we are working to rectify the situation. We have invested in thousands more Calor Lite cylinders and these are being introduced throughout the season to try and keep up with the high demand. However, as you will understand, these are being delivered to existing Calor Lite stockists first and this has resulted in our not being able to extend the network as quickly as we would like.  In addition we will continue to offer a free exchange for existing Calor cylinder holders to the Calor Lite bottle, but limited to customers who already have a Calor 6kg or 7kg cylinder. This will allow us to manage stock numbers more effectively and fulfil orders for existing Calor Lite customers."

this helps as you can ring round and ask if they have calor lite in stock,save lots of petrol and time.

We were at Bladon Chains CC site about 2 weeks ago and I asked if they had any Calor Lite and was told about the shortage. However when we got home I managed to get one from a local small DIY shop and perhaps those looking might have more luck than tradition caravan outlets. Anyone in MK could try Pollards in Bletchley
