OldBerkshireBoy Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Hi all, swopping to Propane gas and looking for empty 13kg bottles, need two and willing to pay a fair price. Whilst here, I will be posting a slot in gas cooker & grill for sale shortly. It has 4 burners with screw down caps, clean and in full working order when removed. Thanks.

JanetAnne Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 If you have butane bottles you can swap them for propane at the point of refill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanetAnne Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 We are changing everything from butane to propane so I must have exchanged a dozen or so in the last 12 months. Calor's site has the details 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`ll contact you if needed and/or post the result for others to see. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Incidentally many yards no longer deal wit Calor - Flogas is becoming much more available. Quite a few of the yards have been complaining of the poor service from Calor and no longer stock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Under normal circumstances, I would have suggested obtaining empty gas cylinders from your local waste recycling centre for a few pounds.You would be surprised what people throw away.

OldBerkshireBoy Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 Update; As said it is a straight forward bottle swop from one type of gas to another so many thanks to those that replied your input was much appreicated as always. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I just came across this thread....I was always under the impression that Butane was supplied to the appliance @ 37mbar, whilst Propane is @ 29mbar, which would suggest that as well as swopping cylinders a regulator change is also required.
