has anyone tried and tested one of these new light weight, see through gas bottles that BP have recently brought out? http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/articles/view.asp?id=149?

be interested in hearing opinions as I need a new gas bottle soon!

cheers,

might be a problem getting it exchanged when empty.

still some debate over safety and the bloke at our local marina said they are banned on canalboats

Have a look here. Should have no problem getting exchanges, as they deliver and all the DIY places like B&Q do them. Don't know what the issue with safety is when it passes all European legislation

The only problem I see is that they have a different fitting to the usual propane or butane screw in types. They do look a good option though, I may well go for one when I finally empty the heavy Calor propane one in my van.

nice one fellas. I'm pretty much out like I said so will go on the hunt for one over the next couple of days and come back with a full report. basically my take on it is that anything which reduces weight from that side of my van where all my cupboards, fridge, cooker etc reside is a good idea - starting to get that 'lean' when driving down a flat piece of road - most disconcerting!

The bloke at the gas shop tried to flog me one of these the other day. It does seem that there are alot of benefits compared to the 907 - loads lighter, cheaper to buy/refill etc etc, but they're quite a big bigger too, so were no good for me...

no idea, but the waterways people won't certificate with them onboard, seemed odd to me but we had to collect the returns going back to boatbuilders

tried to get a couple cheap for a mate with a caravan and marina won't have anything to do with them at all
