Safefill - Refillable Gas Cylinders

Well, I've bitten the bullet and have just bought a couple of Safefill cylinders  - a medium and a small.  (Didn't bother with the large - our issue is to keep down the weight, so Safefill seemed the way to go now that Calor  lite bottles are going to get harder to source). Basically, the small is for the Cadac and the medium is 'for the caravan', but we have the option of swapping.  We are likely to need to fill the cylinders whe we are out in the caravan, so providing we keep them topped up, there shouldn't be a problem.

One of our camping shops... Jacksons of Old Arley have facility to fill the bottles.  I had the conversation with them as to whether they envisage to continue to supply LPG.  There answer was that they have spent quite a bit of money installing the system so there is no way the are going to stop supplying it.  That was good enough for me...

If anyone can advise on this, I'd be really grateful.....

Last month we swapped to Safefill.  I have now emptied my old cylinders, so now I need to fit the Safefill cylinders.  I have a centre gas locker with straps to go around the centre of the bottle and 'floor brackets' (pictured below)  Will the Safefill bottle fit onto the old ''floor bracket' or do I need something else? (Caravan is in storeage)

Our Safefill just fits straight onto the existing floor bracket with no problem.

Can't see why yours would be any different.

Thanks for that Dave.  I'll give it a go next time we go up.  Just thought it was worth asking if I needed a different bracket so I could get it delivered before going up to storeage.  Sounds like all will be well with the existing bracket ..  👍👍

Thanks for that Dave.  The safefill bottle does fit onto the existing bracket (pictured above).  It just fits in a different way.  The traditional cylinders fit into the bracket... the outside of the cylinder is kept secure by the inside of the bracket.  The safefill works in the opposite way - it fits over the bracket so that the inside of the base of the cylinder is in contact with the outside of the bracket - and it fits on a little rim.

It appears fine.  All as I now need is the opportunity to use it!!!

Hi KeefySher, if you are ever in that area again, instead of using Morrisons at Cribbs I suggest trying Andy Gas which is 1 mile away from there.

Last time I looked "SAFEFILL - DOMESTIC USE" gas was 49p per litre.

Everytime I am over that way I fill both my bottles

Andy's Gas

(ring before arriving as not sure if they are open at the moment? Also no affiliation to them, just low cost gas)

I'll bear that one in mind if I'm Bristol way....
