... heard that Calor will exchange this for a new Calorlite. Is this true cos my local dealer (hardware shop) says it will mess up his stock and Calor will charge him!!

Just returned from 2 weeks away and what a problem getting a Lite cylinder!

My idea was to run my old Butane 7kg down then replace it with a new Lite cylinder. I had checked with Calor who said it would be a straight replacement but neither the Caravan Club site or the local suppliers in the area - 5 in total - would do it.

The Caravan Club said that they were only "agents" and it needed to be a dealer?

Anyway home now after getting a refil for my smaller propane cylinder which also ran out.

The moral to the story I suppose is to get the refil before you need it!!!!

Since my earlier post I found that I can get the exchange done at Go Outdoors and with the discount card it is considerably cheaper than using the CC site anyway.

It does seem to me that CC site shops are very loosly regulated and that each site can do just about anything they like to get even more money of their members.

The letter that eventually came back from the CC after 6 months seems to confirm my views.

           Is it the CC that is selling the gas though?  I've talked to a few of their wardens and it appeared that they are the ones who buy the shop stock and sell it for themselves to supplement their wages, could be the same for gas.

I would like to change from the Calor 4.5Kg (blue) butane to the 6Kg (red) propane Calor Lite but the bottle connection is different. Can I buy an adaptor and if so where? or will I need to buy a new pigtail?

Dave.

Thanks John, thats a pity, my Cadac runs off the same bottle and it will mean a new regulator for that. I also have a back-up Camping Gaz 907 that I use in France with an adaptor if the Calor runs out. Maybe too much faffing about to bother changing.
