Big old Calor Gas bottles & modern small bottles

[MrBeard]

Ok, so we are using the new(ish) modern small bottles that are powering our gas heater and separately our spare gas hob.

when we bought our camper van it came with a multihob and grill thing but was powered by a large calor gas bottle.

As we don't use it that much can we convert the big one to take the smaller bottles?

[kevtherev]

yes just use the regulator that you've been using with the smaller bottles for the hob

[MrBeard]

??? How?
I am talking about the heaters that have a slot for the small butane bottles

And the 15 kilo calor gas bottles with the big chunky regulators:

No!

[kevtherev]

thats a can... not a bottle

come on give us a chance here!

use a 3.9kg calor bottle then

[MrBeard]

Sorry, "can" then.

I am trying to get rid of a bottle in exchange for can. everything else we use is from cans which are easier to store etc.

So basically the answer is NO!

no a chance ! those Cans work out loads more in the long run!

Oh and those heaters are very dangerous to use in a van defo don't fall asleep with it on!
