Hi all,
At risk of getting some 'negative' responses back due to two recent threads running on the 'price of filling gas bottles', this is similar, ....but a bit different.
Recently I looked at buying an LPG bottle, that is filled yourself from the petrol station LPG filler.
I dont remember the actual size, but it was 60-70cm high and about 30cm across, having the same set up as a car lpg gas tank filler.
You basically pay the forecourt price of filling your gas bottle yourself, same as you would your car.
I use currently 'camping gaz' and for a N907 bottle, 3.00kg Butane blue bottle(cylinder). At usually around 20 euro to 'exchange' the bottle, it will soon pay for itself if using alot of gas.
I run my Cadac safari chef off this N907 and although our 3 way fridge can do, gas is too expensive to use on the fridge. our Cadac gets about 3 hours of continuous running out of a bottle.
I do like the idea of paying 0.60 euro cents a litre for gas though. !!
(Somewhere, there is info on the size of jet used and pressure used for equipment, (bbq/heater etc) and the different pressure. My cadac came with two different size jets.)
I understand there is no difference between car lpg and equipment lpg and the only difference is some form of filter used.
We looked at converting our petrol vw kombi to LPG and use the same tank for both engine and fridge/cooker. Was not possible to use same tank, but can use same LPG.
Are these cylinders available in Aust? anybody using?
The cost of the bottle, would soon pay for itself through refills I calculate.
Cheers Paul
