Gas Bottle Usage

[82125]

Ive got an empty 6kg FloGas in the garage, may have to get that one swapped so i have a back up for my two 13kg Calors.

Are Flogas and Calor bottles interchangeable?

No, unless you find a friendly stockist who does both then you may have a chance.

Sorry, I meant the fitting type. Should have made that clear. Thanks

Yes, they have the same male thread

Edit - if you have a Fligas depot nearby, they will exchange your calor bottle for one of theirs.
In the past I have exchanged at a depot and received a freshly painted (with Flogas branding) bottle with Calor branding welded on it.

Thanks. I have a couple of spare Calor that I might swap for Flogas. A few of their depots near me.

We went to Safefill bottles.... 7.5kg x 2 fit nice in the locker...aside of the cheaper refills, lighter bottles too..... as for consumption with mixed used since we could go out last Spring we used a 7.5kg (14.5 litres) in our summer trips (mixed off and on grid) and swapped over bottles in October 2021....then refilled for £10.... Safe Travels....we are off to the Peaks mid week for next weekend....

I exchanged a 6kg cylinder recently at Viscount Caravans: it cost £34.00.

OUCH!!

The easiest way to calculate as an approximate usage. Fridge heating hot water off grid winter can be as much as 3 litres per day. Summer. Roughly 1 litre. Weight of the bottle x 1.76 is the conversion. 11kg = 19.36.

That’s still

They ripped you off, here is a calor price list a 6 kg exchange is £25.25

LPG Pricing

You're in the right place for LPG prices.

That’s still a high price to pay for a weeks gas, it’s unlikely that you’d pay that for gas at home let alone £34.
