Club 80-90 Forums

Now I know the price of gas has jumped just a bit in the last 12 months but I was stunned into silence when my closest gas supplier charged me 18.99 GBP for a 907 re-fill.

I understand you will pay more for the smaller bottles like the 907 which for us will just about last a season running a cooker and a fridge (when I remember to turn it on) '
But a 4.5KG bottle can be made to fit where the 907 sits and I'm sure these are better value.

But what price am I expected to pay for a 4.5 CALOR re-fill ? and are the prices similar around the country ?

Regards

PS , I was too afraid to ask the price of a 4.5 just in case he wanted the shirt off my back along with my wallet.....

Fritz,my camper has a cuboard that takes 1 x 4.5kg gas bottle,i am sure it was about £12,when we had to exchange it for a full un.

Dont know about prices at the mo ,but i will be needing to have a full bottle soon.

the last one i bought ( May07) was £14 for a 4.5
i since switched over to a underfloor tank, and filled it in june for £11 and havent filled it up since.....

last i got was £14 for 7 kg !!!!!!
about half a seasons camping, but if Calor, not that pricey gaz stuff

4.5 was £12.91 up here last week.

The bigger the better in gas bottles. I bought a Calor red 6kg for around £16 before Christmas; a couple of weeks ago a 13kg cost me £21. I know which is better value!

Most regular caravanners use 13kg bottles, even though they don't fit in the lockers (mine does!), for economy - they stand them outside the van.

A 6kg is a reasonable compromise and fits in the cupboard under the sink in my camper.

Calor cylinder prices can be found at www.calor.co.uk, click on the "Order lpg" link to see prices.

While in Chester, we exchanged our 6KG red Calor at Brandon's Tool Hire.. for £15.50 on Thursday last week ... and bought an underslung tank for the van at Dubfreeze!! Nicky & Lloyd

I know it's not the question that you've asked, but just for info / discussion, we paid £13.95 locally for a 907 re-fill last week. Last Sept. (I think it was) we paid £18 for one when we were away at Chester!

I paid the same price just last weekend at the campsite, I'm a camping beginner but I thought that was extremely expensive.

Just got a 15kg Calor for £23.99 at Morrisons today.

They are charging £16.99 for the 7kg Calor refill.

Butane that is.
