I’ve been paying £72 apiece for 47kg calor gas exchange bottles for most of the last winter, every two weeks......Long time since I bought any bottled gas but are they serious? £45 odd
I was thinking of swapping it out for a 19kg red bottle. But they seem crazy money as well. Any idea a typical price for 19kg propane?
It seems the smaller the bottle the more you pay per litre.I thought that was reasonable
I’ve just had a look, Calor have the 13 kg bottle for £37.50It seems the smaller the bottle the more you pay per litre.
This morning I crawled out of bed at 9am to find a ticket for 1100 litres of gas in my letterbox. I didn’t hear the truck arrive, I didn’t actually order the gas, but I know I needed some. I was told it’s 40p a litre, plus vat @ 5%, in bulk.
Not bad works out at 5.8p per kw/hIt seems the smaller the bottle the more you pay per litre.

A 19kg propane bottle costs me £20 to get filled up by a friendly autogas place. Same stuff, 50p a litre. Roughly 2 litres per kilo.Long time since I bought any bottled gas but are they serious? £45 odd

What price kw/h does a £72 47kg propane bottle work out to?Not bad works out at 5.8p per kw/h
Oil is around 4.3p per kwh
Mains gas less than 3p per kw/h
And electric 17p per kw/h - horrendous!
I have one of those in my shed, with a Flogas bottle, bought in panic when we moved house a year ago and found nobody would fill our old bulk lpg tank. I‘ve never used it, not even connected the bottle up, but it may well find a place in my workshop next winter.I get propane refilled but not sure of price as it's been 18 months since I had a refill.
I need to check though and see if they do butane refills as I need one of these.

Bit strange though as it says it comes with a 10.5 metre hose but runs on butane. So I need to find out if it does or not. But if it only runs on butane I can't see why it would have a 10.5 metre hose.

I asked Calor about using propane in a heater in the garage and was told the same. However he had no answer to me sleeping just above two bottles of propane in the motorhome.I had an old gas heater that I wanted to use in the shed, but being butane it wouldn’t work when it’s cold! I asked in the gas distributor if it would work on propane & was told yes it would be fine, except there was some regulation about propane cylinders being used inside. I can’t remember the details now, but it was a regulation problem rather than a practical one.
