If you already have Calor bottles I can't see the sense in changing to BP. If you are starting from scratch you need to consider whether the BP's will fit in your gas locker. I use Calor Lite in the van but have a 10kgs BP for the garden BBQ. That size of cylinder won't fit into the front locker of my 2009 Swift.

I won't touch either of them again.... We use a SafeFill cylinder. I can top up before every trip (no need to wait until it's empty) so only need to take the one 8.6kg container with us on most occasions.Like the BP cylinder you can see the liquid level inside (even more clearly so). I've had no problems filling it up at the majority of filling stations that have LPG. From empty it costs between £11 and £12 to fill so both Calor and BP can shove there over priced exchanges where the sun don't shine.

We carry 2 calorlite cylinders.  We have a piece of hose attached to one and another piece of hose attached to the cadac with a quick release connector to join them up.  I can't say I have been overly impressed with the cadac yet, but have only used it a couple of times.

We are not getting away enough to use that much gas so cost of gas isn't an issue.

For normal use we have 2 calor lite cylinders. For winter I also have a 13Kg Calor that I can take in the car - we rally and don't normally have EHU.
