I now use SafeFill, having also used GasLow, so feel qualified to comment.
SafeFill had a few advantages over another set of GasLow (or similar) in my new van:
SafeFill had a few advantages over another set of GasLow (or similar) in my new van:
- They are lighter;
- They were cheaper (if cost is an issue) and easier to install (no extra pipework and no hole in the side of your bodywork);
- I can remove one and use it for my genny or BBQ without being tethered to the van (or requiring a special outlet);
- I can fill in situ or remove them for remote filling (I use POL fittings with a hand-wheel to make it easier);
- If you shop around, you may find somewhere to remote fill that will not charge VAT (because it is to be used for heating rather than propulsion);
- In theory, you can see the level of liquid remaining (but I don’t find that easy);
- You can get adaptors for them, to re-fill in other countries (but these are different to the GasLow ones which are more common);
- I have not had any difficulty getting them re-filled (but maybe I am lucky);
- If stuck, you could use a local cylinder temporarily;
- I expect SafeFill to be easier to sell-on when no longer required.
