I thought the gas problem was with not having bottles not the actual gas itself

Ive ran out of gas in my caravan and ive now phoned 7 different outlets within a 20 Mile radius of me and can't get gas ive only 2 x 4.5kg bottles in this caravan and no one has any ....its a bloody nightmare.

It seems that way. I’ve not had any problems getting LPG. In fact we have now got 50% more LPG stations than we had a couple of years ago. That’s three, up from two .

Got the gas bottle and filler fitted after a bit of mucking about ...then took it to Kirkcaldy morrisons to fill up . 62p a litre it took 12 .65l to fill ....strange as that isnt 80% of 14litres.

So now i need to check all the pipes for leaks.

It's about right for a 6kg bottle, bottle sizes are given to the 80% level.

Blimey. If it was leaking that much you would know about it

Thought I read on here that first fill should not be 80% (or full) cant remember why.

My Gaslow instructions say that for first fill, you should be very careful and make sure that it does automatically stop at 80%.

I forgot that its only a 6kg bottle whereas the one i replaced it with is a 7kg bottle.

It automatically cut of at 12.65 litres

Anyway i found 2 small leaks in pipe joins using the soapy water method ....gave them a bit tighten up and checked all other joints and everything seems fine now.

I made the mistake of taking the front of the gas fire to clean and hoover in there as i may use that as a back up now and then as it uses no electric.

Getting the front back on is like a crypton factor challenge... I spent nearly an hour on that bugger.
