Re: Got a Propex 1600? How cold can you go?
907 butane bottle capacity is only 2.75kg. Problem is I'd have to rip my cupboards apart to accomodate anything larger. I'll probably end up doing just that one day though as I'm sick of paying 907 prices.......

Gas = cold beer.
Get your priorities right.

Not so much a problem in winter. Just put them under the van.

Sure. I'm thinking of 1664's summer drinking.

Ah. In that case this should do the job.

Thankfully in my Holdsworth there's room for two 4.5kg bottles with no mods.
I did just look at underslung LPG but worked out it would need 55 x4.5kg refills to pay for itself. Hmm, not likely unless I have to live in my van during winter.

You can usually blag old butane/propane bottles from your local tip, me and Dazwatson have had a couple for free.
I've also fitted quick release connecters and a regulator on each bottle so changeovers literally take seconds.
