I do not wish this thread to deteriorate into a debate about Safefill Cylinders and the whys and wherefores of various other makes. This is not a promotion of any product.  So please, if you are not a Safefill User, (unless you wish to assist your fellow campers, Motorhomers and caravanners which would be very welcome!) do not comment. This thread is about the effort by the ‘Leisure public’ who use Safefill cylinders to increase the chances of more fill points which can only be a positive move. Morrisons moved to facilitate Safefill after I suggested we all write to them and ask about filling a perfectly legal cylinder. People power does work and it can be a powerful force when applied. Can anyone who uses, or is about to purchase a Safefill, or would like to see fill points open up nearer to them or just simply wants to help their fellow caravanners-  please take 5 minutes to email the following Service Station Groups about filling Safefill cylinders now that the Red Guide has been amended to encompass them and Morrisons have allowed their filling.  You will get the details from the web.  I have only chosen 2 at the moment- more will follow. If we do this as a group, we can change minds as we did with Morrisons. The first is Penny Petroleum which is based in the north of England and has 42 sites I believe. They are on Twitter so that’s another way of contacting them and applying gentle pressure! The second and much larger concern is Euro Garages Group. Please help. Safefill are too small to get out there and visit everyone but they are doing their best I can assure you. Can you please post when you have sent your communication and  any results you receive to the thread Thank you so much . We need those fill points!

What I would like to see is the C&MC taking proactive action and support on behalf of it's 'members' and support Safefill and also contact service station groups.

Just a thought, how about a standard draft letter that we could all use giving the correct information.

Thanks Chris. It’s certainly worth thinking about but my own thoughts are that individual letters and contacts would be more powerful. I certainly agree that the Club could help but it’s all about politics I’m afraid. I will certainly contact the club and see how the land lies. Thanks for your input

I for one, will do it although I am quite fortunate around Kent.

It would be lovely to know I can pull into any forecourt and know I can fill up with gas as well as diesel.

I inherited my safefill with th Motorhome - steady Corners, it might just happen to you 🤪

Thanks arty- much obliged. You inherited a Safefill cylinder? WOW! How nice.  I suppose it had to happen one day!  If you would help us Corners that would be great! If anyone out there would email these two companies even if you don’t own a Safefill and have no intention of owning one then it would still help your fellow ‘vanners and some MHers. Anything from a simple’Why can’t we fill a cylinder that is acceptable by Morrisons ‘ to mentioning the Red Guide being amended and that there are thousands of SF cylinders out there.

Corners- are you pulling our leg??🤣 It’s simply an LPG Cylinder, lightweight that can be self filled saving about 70-75% on gas depending where you buy it from. The best thing to hit the LPG market in many a year!
