On a site this weekend that sold LPG but they also refill normal Calor bottles, said they have an adaptor and bottle has to be completely empty as they have a chart that Flo Gas gave them to let hem know ho much to put in so they are only 80% full!!!

That is totally out of order! If it was illegal to refill a rental cylinder before the new Red Guide, it’s illegal now! The fact is that the cylinder belongs to a company and is their property. By filling it, they are denying that company it’s rental profits. It’s theft- it may seem strange and some may even be cheering to see the big boys getting denied their rental but it’s theft never the less- name and shame. If I were a cynic I would say this is another attempt to weaken companies like Safefill, Gaslow and co who have done everything right. Well dodgy and taudry in the extreme!

However, I am not sure I believe the fillers of the cylinders. I find it difficult to believe that a company as large as Flogas would enter into such a devious and downright illegal scheme- this is worth  further investigation! 

Just noticed this......Canal Garage is already mentioned on the list that is being compiled as someone else had checked it out regarding Safefill.

We have a caravan but have a fixed Gaslow system with external filling point, so no problem filling anywhere.

OH did go in to ask where the LPG pumps were, and can confirm that the person manning the desk was not bothered whether we had fixed or portable cylinders.

As we were  filling, a MH also pulled in to fill LPG, from the look on his face it was clear he had never seen anyone filling LPG into a caravan before.

Yes, I’m very doubtful that the full truth is in this one DD. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is a method used by whoever these people are to sell more gas. I think if Calor, Flo or whoever supplies their gas knew of it, gas supplies might be stopped immediately! I have to say I’m not sure whether it is criminal or a civil offence but it’s illegal that’s for sure. As I say, if it was illegal before the new Red Guide, then it’s illegal now- no matter who does it. All that changed or was added was regarding the filling of “properly constructed user/owner cylinders “ due to their acceptance into the mix. I think the gas supply company would be very interested in this!! 

I can only go on what I was told, I assumed it was Flo Gas who gave them the information as it was a Flo Gas installation but the warder said they were given a chart.  I asked if he meant just refillable bottles and he said no the normal ones too that the adaptor fits.

The site does have a high proportion of seasonal pitches including lots of American RV's on site so I guess they have a captive audience who are grateful to be bale to do this.  

I would have bought some gas myself but at 86p a litre I will go elsewhere.

MichaelT if you give me the details I will add them to the list of LPG outlets that fill refillables or just click this to fill in a form to update the list FORM 

Sorry John, I was so indignant at the filling of rental cyliders, I missed the main chance! - however at 86p a litre....................
