Thanks all.

Sounds good news for those worried about being refused at filling stations, particularly as these places may be more comfortable with knowledge of filling cylinders which have 80% safety cut-off valves.

Don't forget Flogas depots.
Peterborough boys have always been kind and helpful as I am always in return (letting a couple of taxis jump the queue before I sit and load 250 litres 😁)

Not been refused at any petrol station yet in the UK. Filled up at several. Not even been questioned. Maybe I've just been lucky.

Around my area there are a few Taxi companies that sell to the public, a builders yard and an independant supplier so not just garages (y)

I am glad this thread is bringing out the possibility of alternatives to filling stations.

Unfortunately there have not been responses from Members on the Continent yet, where the refusals to fill tanks for domestic use seem to be more prevalent.

It is still a relatively rare occurrence to be denied.

I agree and most reports are about Spain, Franc and Italy.

In Italy last year I was quizzed about whether LPG was for the motor, so just nodded and was filled - even though my LPG filler is near the diesel filler :LOL:

I was thinking internationally, which is why I included myLPG.EU, because the problem at filling stations is more often been reported in France and Spain.
We were refused on a service station on a motorway in Italy. "Not for cooking" the man said. I believe it is due to different tax rates. He did however, tell us to go off at the next junction and gave us directions to a garage which did give us gas.

MFG owned and they said back in 2022 that all LPG would be removed from their sites by 2024 ☹️
They only operated 57 sites with LPG pumps in total so it wasn’t the massive loss some wrongly claimed ⚠️

The Shell station Burford Road Cirencester changed to a Co-op station a good while back and you are correct it has stopped selling LPG since changing ownership

My non-filling station experiences have been in Norway and England. Not needed non-filling station sites anywhere else as yet.
Regularly filled up in France but would have been refused in a couple of places (Total stations) if filler had not been external. Two occasions the attendant came out to look at what was going on. Italy I have had no problem or Holland or Belgium. I believe many now look to see where your filler is. At Total if I had the gas locker door open I am sure I would have been refused.
Hope this helps
