Safe fill LPG bottle users.

How long does your bottle of gas last you with a water heater. I was hoping mine would last longer than it is, just over half a bottle has gone in 2 1/2 days, that is with 2 users with a water temp at the brush of 38 deg.

They will hold 15 litres of LPG gas. At the moment I think the price of LPG at our local garage is 79p a litre. Cost to fill £11.85. If you have a little left, you can refill it and only pay for the gas it takes to fill it up again.

A word of warning though. Our local garage that sells LPG would only allow vehicles with the correct conversions to fill up their tanks. They wouldn't allow any one to refill their gas bottles, even if it was the refillable bottle. I don't know if they have relaxed their policy now.

The problem was that people were filling standard gas bottles with ebay purchased adapters which could have been very dangerous.

Just wanted to say Spruce that your replies to members on here are really informative, and well put together.
Keep it going, and thank you. :)

You don't need warning stickers, yes I am insured and it didn't cost a penny extra.

You seen to had a bee in your bonnet about this Ian, you keep asking this question.

you dont need sticker when your carrying gas bottles ?

its good that you have told your insurance Company Lee, because they ask if you do in a round about way so many will not be insured they just dont know it, now they do;)
 
my bee is this and it is very simple mate and it not meant as an attack on you it is in general ok:
if you had an acceident and were hurt but still awake and speaking and your car/van had fire in back and needed to be cut out, you could possibly kill someone as they would not know you are carrying a ticking time bomb. trying to avoid a sticker IMO is stupid and careless. No problem with you in anyway just my feeling on this subject, I have had a bad accident, i watched one last night on the way back from Norwich with someone being cut from a burning car the firemen deserve better if not to protect themselves and others.

we are in business and this is not for personal nor domestic use (however someone want to try and bend domestic/personal part to make themselves feel better) it is for a commercial, have a read of this see what you think:
