Club 80-90 Forums

I was in Go Outdoors yesterday for some decent awning pegs and thought while I was there to get a replacement gas cylinder,ours is a '907' size and was astounded by the price £27,the wife was paying so I got it,will have to check out prices first for the next replacement

Day light robbery in uk now,
Get mine swapped in France now, I use the larger 907 and they are 18 euros a refill

Edited being a mong 907 is the larger size and what I use

Have you got room to use the 4.5Kg Calor bottles? Much better value for money. For a while (before I upgraded to a SafeFill re-fillable bottle), I started using the 4.5Kg bottles, though I had to unbolt the "ring" around the top so it would fit in the cupboard.

I do use a larger 3.9 propane bottle but use 907s for stove and backup as calor not available in France

I have just paid £25 for a 907, I am sure I paid nearer £30 for the one before that.

How big are the safe fill bottles against the 907?

From the SafeFill website I found =
Small 5KG Cylinder
Capacity: Capacity: 9.5 litres
Height: 384 mm
Diameter: 305 mm

I don't have a 907, but I am sure the dimensions can be easily found.

Nice one thanks,I'll have to get my tape measure out.. Do you have any problem refilling it on the forecourt?

Not often, but most Shell garages won't let you I keep a print out in my van of a C&P from their website about the legallity of filling them, most garages are ok, but not Shell ones. Mind you, with a bit of planning ahead, ie topping up at a place you know is ok with them, you shouldn't have a problem as they last a heck of a lot longer than the little 907s, plus you can see when they are getting a bit low, so you are never caught out, like with a blue steel bottle. I had to modify my "furniture" a bit to fit it in, but have never looked back. SOooooo much cheaper to run !! (esp if, like me, you camp out in all weathers and use the Propex a lot).

I think I'll be looking into one, there is a dealer not to far from me. It's either one of these or a tank fitted underneath

Hi. Please could anybody confirm if the BP Lite cylinder is the same as the Safefill ones.

Thanks.

No, sorry, those ones are not the same and are not re-fillable at the forecourt.
