Gaslow, cylinder expiry date mark (1 Viewer)

[Nigel Crompton]

I've two Gaslow bottles (11kg, type number unknown, clip-on gauges) fitted in a locker within m/h garage.
Bottles are positioned so that only part of the stamping on the bottom of the cylinder is visible.
Is this where the lifespan is marked ? Is the manufacturing date marked or the expiration date? Is there any associated text, or just a date stamp?
Cylinders can't be turned without disconnecting pipework, which I'm loathe to do, I'll be getting the endoscope out
As I dunno whether these are the 10 or 15 year life types, and 10 years is up, I need to know.

The date stamped on the base ring is not an expiry date and shouldn't be used. The Gaslow bottle will have a stencilled expiry year around the top of the tank just below the neck - out with the endoscope or maybe a double jointed camera photo

A-ha, thanks Lenny.
But, as I've just had a quote of €360 per cylinder, fitted, I think I might be reverting to exchangeable cylinders as I don't really do months long country tours anymore

Those are the older type.

They are £216 &£199 (1st & 2nd bottle) from Autogas 2000, and you get a Fuster discount off that, fitting shouldn't be too much but you will need new hoses if they are 10 years old so that will be about another 60 quid.

Even if you don't use a lot of gas the way exchange bottle prices keep rising probably still a good investment, and worth it just not to have to lug heavy cylinders about.

I just ordered 2 x 11kg (nos 1 & 2) + 2 x s/s 0.6mtr filler hoses and pigtail washers. Including VAT and UK delivery it comes to about £520.00. There is no Fun discount on Gaslow from Autogas as they already include a discount in their advertised prices.

Same as us, we have one refillable and a Cepsa propano that I exchanged yesterday €17.90 , but the refillable is a must for travelling out of Spain. Bob.
