transporting gas cylinders

Why not put the Cylinder in a milk crate and tie it in there, thats what I used to do with my Ute.

MTing it into the atmosphere? what a waste!! have a few BBQ's until its MT if thats your thing..

Buying one there Im bettign would cost you shiat loads.

YMMV

Go the milk crate idea,

I've always been told that a full cylinder is safer than an almost empty one. I live in Hervey Bay and we do have the cylinder exchange thing around town, that might be an option, dunno.

Fill up the cylinder before getting to the island you'll save heaps.

Honestly, a cylinder in a milk crate (they fit perfectly) FIRMLY secured in a ute tray should be fine. (there is an issue with build upo of static with air passing through the milk crate, but just be sure that you earth it before filling the fuel tank of before using the gas bottle.

Try the BBQ places in Hervey Bay and see if they'll hire a bottle rather than do the exchenge thing.

I use a plastic crate from Kmart with some rags stuffed in. As long as the cylinder is secure and the valve is healthy I don't see a problem. I returned yesterday after carting a cylinder over 1000k of rough dirts roads without a problem. If this is dangerous I'd like to know about it. I've also got a 50 litre LPG tank under the vehicle, never had a problem with that either.Hooroo

The law say's you can carry no more than 9kg inside vehicle (boot) but in the back of a ute it's fine as long as it is secured.I carry 18kg cyl to the farm but those 9kgs are a pain to tie down so I to use milk crates there great mate.

I lug a 9kg cylinger, stored in a milk crate (perfect fit) on my roof rack .. which is chained securely to the rack. Have taken it everywhere and is as safe as a house, as long as I keep my truck on its wheels.
I'm off to Fraser May 6 .. can't wait ...

great idea with the milk create my pop owns a massive milk vending business here in sydney. just one question to earth it just bridge a screwy to the a bit of bare metal? not much of a sparky thats all!!!

Funny, hope dairy farmers lawyers dont see this, as there are good fines these days for having milk crates at home or in use other than by authorised people!

I had about 20 at home in bleep ney for a while for various things.

jonny,

just came back from Fraser, $33 to fill a 9kg bottle at Cathedral beach, but go to Eurong or happy valley and its sure to be cheaper.

have a great trip.

WARNING- only way to empty LPG is to burn it off.

LPG does not mix with air
if u empty a bottle to atmosphere the gas falls to the ground then rolls to the lowest spot if it gets ignited " KBOOM "
