ScrumpyCheddar Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Griff I bought one of these for my butane gas bottle.... The gauge tells you if you've got pressure also detects if it's leaking and how much gas is in the bottle..... when it's on the yellow that's when it's nearly empty.... you have about a 1 hours gas left... I got mine on eBay only £10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ok Viking...I bought a blue one as I run butane in my vw transporter... I just used the pic to show an example that they do them for propane... problem is there's so many regulator fittings to choose from what type of gas and what size bottle you have... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I just have two bottles. bloody posh me!!! the downside is the gas locker will only take the silly blue camping gaz size bottles. That's why I go to the pub a lot!!!! 15kg would last me about 10 yrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZimbiIV Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I have 2 bottles onboard, BUT thanks to Griff,s mishap, l now remember 1 is a year old and the other is empty guess what the 1st job is next week. If you do have 2 bottles remember both have to be secured not like 1 boat we looked that had the connected one hanging on the hose the other rolling around in the engine bay! Quickly walked away from that and informed the sellers they disconnected it there and then. That wasn't on the broads but the next day we went for a second look at the one we liked and the other boat was on it's own and not for sale! paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrundallNavy Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 We have two 4.5kg flogas as that's the only size that fits. As we run a gas fridge we do seem to keep Boulters busy. Doug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
